Dangerous Things

DANGEROUS THINGS

You come to me undone with your dancing shoes on
Trouble in mind and you own it
Cross the floor through the smoke and noise
No need to tell me what you're looking for

The moon of gold and silver
Out where the sidewalk ends
Somewhere a band is playing
Playing dangerous, dangerous things
My bodyguard of roses
Trembling in the wind
You're like a wounded soldier
Playing dangerous, dangerous things

You steal the air I breathe and it's haunting me
The invitation's out and I want it
Cross over the line, too late for regrets
It's too late to duck once the bullets spent

The dice that bear the numbers
Not ours alone to roll
A life that fits your dreams
And it's a dangerous, dangerous thing
My bodyguard of roses
Trembling in the wind
You're like a wounded soldier
Playing dangerous, dangerous things

Once you're the breaker of your own heart
It's a matter of time till it one day tears your world apart

The moon of gold and silver
Out where the sidewalk ends
Somewhere a band is playing
Playing dangerous, dangerous things
My bodyguard of roses
You ain't no tent show queen
You're like a wounded soldier
Playing dangerous, dangerous things
