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
And he's been livin' on the razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
He won't fall for that same old trick again
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!"
She's been livin' on the razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
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?"
She's been livin' on the razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
She won't fall for that same old trick again
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"
And the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday
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)
Well, we're livin' on the razor's edge
Tryin' to touch the sun
And we won't fall for that same old trick again
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
Oh, no
Oh, no
Such a fine line
I was meanin' to write
