Verge of a Thing Lyrics

I'm as wired as a dead man walking
To the edge of a precipice
You look at me, wanna hear me talking
But oh, as hard as I try there's no explaining this

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

I think in English but my blood is Russian
Chasing it down with adrenaline
I look at you and I see you blushing
Appearing now in my wildest dreams

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

Do we really feel like we do?

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

I'm as wired as a dead man walking
To the edge of a precipice
You look at me, wanna hear me talking
But oh, as hard as I try there's no explaining this

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine 
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

I think in English but my blood is Russian
Chasing it down with adrenaline
I look at you and I see you blushing
Appearing now in my wildest dreams

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine 
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

Do we really feel like we do?

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine 
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a

It ain't the wine or the dope that's talking
It ain't your psychic on Benzedrine 
No, I have been to the mountain and I have a dream
Baby, we're on the verge of a thing, thing

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
