[English]

Well, son, I believe it's the end of the line

I'm all out of whiskey, I'm all out of wine

I've burned all my bridges, I've earned my degree

The darkness is all I have waiting for me

Whoa, on the edge of insane

Whoa, only fools know the name

Of a man who can't live

With the choices he's made

If he can't find the pen, he can sure find the blade

Whoa

Well, son, I believe this is killing me slow

It's been 20-odd years and I have 15 to go

If ever I heard of a word to the wise

Don't listen to those who put stars in your eyes

Whoa, on the edge of insane

Whoa, only fools know the name

Of a man who can't live

With the choices he's made

If he can't find the pen, he can sure find the blade

Whoa

Whoa, on the edge of insane

Whoa, only fools know the name

Of a man who can't live

With the choices he's made

If he can't find the pen, he can sure find the blade
