On the Verge Of Something Wonderful

A serpent, a rabbit, a walk in the forest A tentative looking sun A feeling, a moment, a bursting of bubbles A panic to overcome A samurai, an angel, an etiquette table An AC that does not work A road trip, a car wreck, a paperback novel A lover who ain't been hurt, damn it When you let me go, when I'm on my way When the world below is cold and gray On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful A resurgence on the edge of something wonderful For it, against it, said he'd never meant it But Harry still dropped the bomb A trip to the dentist, the Hollywood black list A moment that time forgot When you let me go, when I'm on my way When the world below is cold and gray On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful At the edge of, on the verge of something wonderful You can dance in the devil's shoes if you like walking in heels And there's a decent living to be made in the selling out of ideals You can lose your way in the big city Get distracted and lost and feel pretty I want you, I need you I don't wanna please you or belong to anyone But life is for leading, for not people pleasing A race that has never been won When you let me go, when I'm on my way When the world below is cold and gray I'm on the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful At the edge of, on the verge of something wonderful On the verge of, on the verge of something wonderful A resurgence on the edge of something wonderful
