[Verse 1]
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
Livin' in Queensland was not okay
Said he can't find the money just to pay the rent
And the food and the herb, well they're just heaven sent
[Chorus]
And he's been livin' on the razor's edge
And tryin' to touch the sun
And he won't fall for that same old trick again
[Verse 2]
And Cathy's alright, she just gets lonely everyday
She's livin' with a dream-world of yesterday
And there she is, but here she'll stay
"Well it just never works out," she said, "anyway!"
[Chorus]
She's been livin' on the razor's edge
And tryin' to touch the sun
And she won't fall for that same old trick again
[Verse 3]
Lulu's too tired of livin' down beside Torquay
She's gettin' herself together, financially
Says "one of these days I'm just gonna lie in the sun
But right now I'm wondering does that day ever come?"
[Chorus]
And she's been livin' on the razor's edge
And tryin' to touch the sun
And she won't fall for that same old trick again
[Verse 4]
Got a letter from Davie just the other day
And the note just read, "please come to Byron Bay"
Well the heart says "go", and the head says "stay" (that way)
And the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday
[Chorus]
And don't go livin' on the razor's edge
Or tryin' to touch the sun
'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again
(That's what they tell ya')
[Chorus]
Well we're livin' on the razor's edge
And tryin' to touch the sun
And we won't fall for that same old trick again
[Chorus]
We're livin' on the razor's edge
And tryin' to touch the sun
And we won't fall for that same old trick again
[Outro]
Oh, no
Oh, no
Such a fine line, I was meanin' to write
