Got a letter from Davie just the other day Living in Queensland was not OK Said he can’t find the money just to pay the rent And the food and the herb, well they’re just heaven sent
He’s been living on the razor’s edge He trying to touch the sun And he won’t fall for that same old trick again
And Cathy’s alright, she just gets lonely everyday She’s living 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 living on the razor’s edge And trying to touch the sun She won’t fall for that same old trick again
Lulu’s too tired of living 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 living on the razor’s edge And trying to touch the sun And 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 turning everyday

Well we’re living on a razor’s edge And trying to touch the sun And we won’t fall for that same old trick again
Yeah living on a razor’s edge And trying to touch the sun And we won’t fall for that same old trick again
