On The Verge Lyrics
Here we are, now where are we?
It's like nothing I've ever seen
We got hoarse-throated hucksters whispered gimmicks
Rubbernecking the curious cynics
And headlong-walkers, one born every minute
Do I plug it in? Or do I stick it in it?
I don't know what came over me
I'm too dumb for words
I didn't think I'd like it here at all
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge
Here we are, now who are you?
The long lost Queen's of some Hoodoo?
Well we're the last of the big-time penetrators
Playing dead to fuck the undertaker
The movie'll come out a little bit later
The Men, The Legend, The Goat, The Satyr
I don't know what came over me
I'm too dumb for words
I didn't say I'd like it here at all
Bit I swear, I swear I'm on the verge
Here we are, now don't ask how
The time to leave was kinda now
Well don't cry, baby, there's no cause for grief
Deadheading's never gonna kill the Chief
It's an empty road without relief
And I'm a highway romance milking Thief
I don't know what came over me
I'm too dumb for words
I didn't think I'd like it here at all
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge
It's like nothing I've ever seen
We got hoarse-throated hucksters whispered gimmicks
Rubbernecking the curious cynics
And headlong-walkers, one born every minute
Do I plug it in? Or do I stick it in it?
I'm too dumb for words
I didn't think I'd like it here at all
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge
The long lost Queen's of some Hoodoo?
Well we're the last of the big-time penetrators
Playing dead to fuck the undertaker
The movie'll come out a little bit later
The Men, The Legend, The Goat, The Satyr
I'm too dumb for words
I didn't say I'd like it here at all
Bit I swear, I swear I'm on the verge
The time to leave was kinda now
Well don't cry, baby, there's no cause for grief
It's an empty road without relief
And I'm a highway romance milking Thief
I'm too dumb for words
I didn't think I'd like it here at all
But I swear, I swear I'm on the verge

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think it's about someone starting to take drugs and how it makes things kinda wierd, but in a good way, and that the person could see himself taking some more, and the verge is the line between recreational and addiction..
No comments PPL your crazy this is one of the best songs by the band im not sure of the meaning yet but i will figure it out someday
I was kinda surprised this song ended up on a collection that was released after Gordie passed .. on Spotify it's a playlist that has all hockey songs - and I just don't see the connection with hockey in "On the Verge" .. anyone see it?
