Out on the Cliffs

Out on the cliffs
On the edge of town
There are mansions abandoned
Just waiting to be torn down
And all the faces along the road
They are watching us, judging us
Warning us not to go
Lost in time, some day we might find a place for us
Asleep on the bluff by the old amusement rides
With wonder in our eyes we watch as the stars collide
We can never go home ‘cause we’ve gone too far
It’s a shame that they’ll accept us for who we are
Midnight sky, black sea and sand
Just pools of ink to dip our pens
In this place for us
Hand puppets on the canyon walls
We run for cover as they fall
In this place for us
Lost in time, on and on we climb, your hand in mine
Some day we might find a place for us
One drop can break the rising tide
One smile can push your fears aside
One word puts out a burning page
One prick can pop your weightless cage
One kiss can wake your sleeping soul
One thought can break the rules you know
Out on the cliffs at the edge of town
We lost ourselves and were never found
Somewhere there’s a place for us
