Country Joe McDonald - Balancing On The Edge of Time Lyrics

Here I sit all by myself
I put all my books back on the shelf
I got no thoughts to trouble my mind
Balancing on the edge of time.
Then suddenly the light shines through
And I know just what to do
I sing la la la,
I sing la la la...

Walking through the palm of my hand
It could be a woman, could be a man
I'm not afraid of what I'll find
Balancing on the edge of time.
Then suddenly night turns to day
I see my high life in a different way
And I sing la la la,
Yeah, I sing la la la...

I curse the days I spent in vain
With nothing to lose and nothing to gain.
I'll make a promise now of a different kind
Balancing on the edge of time.
Then suddenly new thoughts appear
And I can realize some of my fears
And I sing la la la,
Oh, I sing la la la,

La la la la la la la...
