Take My Edge & Turn

from Flat On Every Side by Adam Balbo

/

lyrics

Lying flat just like a piece of paper, I can no longer burn.
My page is soaked. Take my edge and turn.
My page is soaked. Take my edge and turn.

Standing erect just like some statue, I forget how to sit down.
You can take my torch. Go burn down your town.
You can take my torch. Go burn down your town.

Look both ways before that street you’re crossing. Look into my eyes.
Let’s stand back to back. If we get hit, it’s coming from the side.
Let’s stand back to back. If we get hit, it’s coming from the side.

Unfold me. Hoist me up like I was a flag.
Throw me to the wind and watch me flap.
Throw me to the wind and watch me flap.

Red in the face, yellow in the belly. I just got me two black eyes.
You could give me death or take away my pride.
Give me death or take away my pride.

Let me walk in your valleys, your cities. I can’t be alone.
I’ll have a big voice once I buy a microphone.
I’ll have a big voice once I buy a microphone.
