Dance with your demons and your angels,

Join them in that merry mad glee

Dance along that knife's edge 

Between genius and insanity.

For upon that high up edge

Between the angel and the ape

The view's as clear as crystal

And the world is yours to take

But ‘ware the knife's steel

For its edge is hungry and sharp

A misstep and a slip

And your blood will feed the dark

For what is life but risk

And a dare to the dark

Shouted, whispered, from above,

A revolt, a rebellion, a lark

Death's the only certainty

In this bloody sketch

And one's not judged by length

But by the grace in the steps

So dance with your demons and your angels,

Join them in that merry mad glee

Dance along that knife's edge 

Between genius and insanity.

For upon that high up edge

Between the angel and the ape

The view's as clear as crystal

Dance with your demons and your angels,

Join them in that merry mad glee

Dance along that knife’s edge

Between genius and insanity.

For upon that high up edge

Between the angel and the ape

The view’s as clear as crystal

And the world is yours to take

But ‘ware the knife’s steel

For its edge is hungry and sharp

A misstep and a slip

And your blood will feed the dark

For what is life but risk

And a dare to the dark

Shouted, whispered, from above,

A revolt, a rebellion, a lark

Death’s the only certainty

In this bloody sketch

And one’s not judged by length

But by the grace in the steps

So dance with your demons and your angels,

Join them in that merry mad glee

Dance along that knife’s edge

Between genius and insanity.

For upon that high up edge

Between the angel and the ape

The view’s as clear as crystal
