There's an open door callin' to me   I just can't ignore   Wakin' up, I realize   Bars of steel to keep me inside      Justice has done me wrong   Guilty for crime will age me so long   Understand that it's more than too late   Where's the lucky dog, who used me for the bait?      I'm falling over the edge      Yeah, I guess he was pretty smart   Left me in the street with my gun in the dark   Murder, well, I tried to prevent   Instead up the river is how my time is spent      I think, I'm over the edge   I've been doin' time   Tired of doin' time   Over the edge      I can't take more of this cell   So don't be alarmed   When you hear this prisoner yell      Far away, far away   Never too far away from the truth      But where's the fairness? What's a harmless man to do?   But see it through, though I'm trapped in this death bringing doom   Words of hope, there ain't no place for this forgotten face   I take my chances      Now I know I'm over the edge   Over the edge   Get me out, get me out   Over the edge   I'm tired, over the edge
