Em              C           D
Only the Lord knows the answer,
To the mess this world is in
At the end of the rainbow
We're scared to death once again

Life's getting shorter every hour
It keeps on feeding in my face
Why can't we stop the evil power
That will kill the human race

Chorus:
 G                  D
Right, baby don't cry
                   Em
Keep on dancing tonight
                D
On the edge of time - x2

Only the Lord knows the answer
To the mess this world is in
This place has turned into Atlantis
And it's already started to sink

Life in the fast lane
Has turned into a dead end street
Let's turn the wheel back to the future
Let's use the power of our dreams
Right, baby don't cry
Keep on dancing tonight
On the edge of time

Chorus - x3
