Styx - Edge Of The Century Lyrics
Living on the edge of the century
See the world in revolution
Spinning faster all the time
We're heading for the end of something
Oh, can't you see?
We're staring in the face of reality
Oh, you and me
We're living on the edge of the century
Feel the way the earth is shaking
Hear the rumble miles away
Say goodby to Checkpoint Charlie
Walls are falling every day
Oh, can't you see?
Oh, you and me
We're living on the edge of the century
[alternate 2nd verse from the 1999 tour]
Feel the way the earth is shaking
Fires and floods and hurricanes
A voice cries out in revelation
"Say hello to Y2K!"
Oh, can't you see?
We're jumpin on the ledge of uncertainty
Oh, you and me
We're living on the edge of the century
Can't turn off the information
Can't sit back in your easy chair
Can't ignore a generation
Better get ready cause we're almost there
We're moving at the speed of life
Into a brave new world where the strong will survive
The dawn's gonna break and I'll meet you
On the other side
Can't stand still while the earth is turning
Can't take cover til the coast is clear
Can't play guitar while Rome is burning
Look our now cause the future's here
And we're moving at the speed of life
Living on the edge
On the edge of the century

Styx Edge Of The Century Comments
Everyone Listening To This In 2018?
Great song. Great vocals.
La voz de Glenn
This is as bad as Nelson.
No Dennis no Styx.
Dennis is on this album.
Thank you, John Wilson - LOL. Just tried listening to DeYoung on his own (Desert Moon album) - Sorry, Styx was great pre-Tommy and with Tommy, but post-Tommy and James? . . . Not so much.
Damn, no wonder Shaw bailed! Some cheesy crap right here!
It wasn't really that cheesy in 1990.
This is horribly cheesy for any era!
ItsAllG00DMan Actually a very time of fhr moment song as the cold war was ending and generation x was taking the field.
Tommy shaw
Jl Smith That’s not Tommy Shaw, its Glen Burtnik who was with Styx for this album.
