Stressed Out (Close To The Edge) Lyrics by Airplay

St. Elmo’s Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1985

All for one and one for all
All in it together
That's the way it used to be
Nothing lasts forever
Stranger than fiction
Life is a mystery
Nothing is tuning (Turning out)
The way that we planned it to be
I'm close to the edge
And I have a fear of falling
I carry the curse
(And) Things keep going from bad to worse
Making trouble, raising hell
Were the things we did so well?
Things ain't what they used to be
Gotta wake up to reality, it's
Stranger than fiction
Life is a mystery
Nothing is tuning (Turning out)
The way that we planned it to be
I'm close to the edge
And I have a fear of failing
The time in between
Has buried the past
So close to the edge
The mirror reflects a stranger
It's all in reverse
And things keep goin' from bad to worse
Stranger than fiction
Life is a mystery
Nothing is tuning (Turning out)
The way that we planned it to be
I'm close to the edge
And I have a fear of falling
I carry the curse
(And) Things keep going from bad to worse
Close to the edge........
Close to the edge........
Close to the edge........
Close to the edge........
