about

The lyrics to this song are not particularly difficult or cryptic. I was mucking about with an acoustic guitar in the street and then noticed how people were reacting to me. They seem to want something from me after I bashed out a few Luna tunes and I also enjoyed their strange inner struggle about whether to listen and enjoy or be disgusted that someone was sat on the vial public street floor. This song just flew out of me at full volume, almost an audio assault directed completely at the people passing me by. I never really related to street performers but now it all suddenly clicked into place and became clear. - Luna

lyrics

ON THE EDGE

How many sunsets has he seen
Not many in these blood stained streets
With a guitar and a heart that bleeds
He serenades the broken feet

I see you, I see you
I see you walking on the edge now
I see you, I see you
Eyes down don’t dare to look up now
I see you, I see you
I see you hanging on the edge now
I see you, I see you
I see you watch the bodies all fall down

The abandoned plays his song
Some say this street ghost is doing wrong
Its just some notes, blood and hope
Another way to escape the rope

If you stop and look him in the eye
Forgive him if he tries to hide
The world has taught him a lot about pain
It seems you’ve been taught the same

This EP is superb. I did not expect the closing track to sound the way it does. Such an atmospheric and emotional sound, it really turns the rest of the EP up to eleven. zWarhead
