[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And he's been livin' on the razor's edge
And tryin' to touch the sun
And he won't fall for that same old trick again
[Verse 2]
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!"
[Chorus]
She's been livin' on the razor's edge
And tryin' to touch the sun
And she won't fall for that same old trick again
[Verse 3]
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?"
