edge of the century

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

just about to step across that line

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?

every step we take we're making history

oh

you and me

we're living on the edge of the century

feel the way the earth is shaking

fires and floods and hurricanes

a voice cries out in revelation

say hello to y2k!"
