Edge of Paradise

I stand alone by the water Looking to the distant shore The land where the streets are paved with gold Everything that I've wanted Mine after just one more step Freedom to live and riches untold I can never go back home I left that life behind me With just the clothes on my back And the hope my family can find me This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far One day we'll say au revoir To our hell on the edge of Paradise Where we'll never belong Here they sing a different song Hell on the edge of Paradise I stand alone by the water Waiting fo the boat to come To carry me away from this place Waiting for a modern day Charon To show me a life after this Or take my money and desert me I can never go back home A new path lies before me Across the River Styx and stones May break my bones or drown me This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far One day we'll say au revoir To our hell on the edge of Paradise Where we'll never belong Here they sing a different song Hell on the edge of Paradise This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far One day we'll say au revoir To our hell on the edge of Paradise Where we'll never belong Here they sing a different song Hell on the edge of Paradise This is hell on the edge of Paradise So close yet so far And the final step's so hard Hell on the edge of Paradise We'll answer the call And we'll risk it all For a shot at paradise
