[Verse 1]
Here I leave my story, I leave it in the dust
Although this psychology's been entertaining enough
Herein lies the witness objective with my stuff
But we're ready to push envelopes into full-blown consciousness

[Chorus]
So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution

[Verse 2]
I have had my glimpses with and without substances
I have had awakenings non-abiding for the most part

[Chorus]
So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution

[Verse 3]
In this sacred duality
The highs and lows and the heres and there's
These aversions and these cravings
Push me beyond identity into pure awareness (we're already here)

[Chorus]
So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution
So here we go out here on the edge of evolution
Numbers growing out here on the edge of evolution

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
