Today you feel so hopped up
Like a cooking kitchen book
A prisoner of your own dilemma
You can keep the dirty looks
Well, Chuck it, says the Chinaman
You can try and explain instead
Or you can shuffle down to kingdom come
But that's just what he says
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take it off
Come on, take it off
Well, today you feel so cracked up
You feel a stunning fever
That rises when you least expect it
And comes on like a cleaver
Get lost, said the ballerina
It's just like dancing with myself
And the only time you sneak around
Is when you need some kind of help
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take it off
Come on, take it off
Today you feel electric
Sippin' and a-sippin'
And leave the light condition dead
With all the extra trappings
I'm with you, said the Jedi
As he pockets all your hope
Well, if you really want to hang yourself
I'll just supply the extra rope
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
Come on, take it off, take it
Take it off, take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take it off
Come on, take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta, come on, take it off
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
Take it off
You gotta take off the edge
You gotta take off the edge
Come on, take it off
Well, take it off
Take off the edge
