Mercury rising has fevered the night

Indian summer is burning

Skin’s way too tender and something’s not right

Pulse racing heartblood is churning

 

Slice me a piece of that Cheshire cat moon

Stars in the heavens are winking

Electricity’s alive in this room

That roguish grin’s got me thinking

 

Oh, so dangerous

Slipping into quicksand

Forces of nature and a dangerous man

Heart’s unraveling coming undone

 Maybe once do something dangerous

 

Trouble’s a bloodhound that’s picked up my scent

Your voice is all smoke and honey

Had me some good sense, don’t know where it went

Heartbeat’s gone hell bent, it stuns me

 

Oh, so dangerous

I’ve got to be stronger than this

Spell that’s spinning me a dangerous man

Heart’s unraveling, coming undone

Into something maybe dangerous just once

 

Just this once (Better not just once)

Better not even once (what’s the harm in just once)

Well, maybe once

 

(Bridge)   Since I was a child

                 I’ve walked a straight and narrow line

                 Sheltered and mild

                 Safe, dry and warm

                 How might I fly, carried by a wind so wild?

                 Cyclone swirl me through this storm

 

You mess with my senses like whiskey and wine

There can’t be no good intention

Leave now and I might just make it in time or be

Captured by your full attention

 

Oh, so dangerous

Slipping into quicksand

Quicksilver flashing from a dangerous man

Heart’s unraveling, coming undone

Into something maybe dangerous

 

Oh, so dangerous

I’ve got to be stronger than this

Force of nature and a dangerous man

Heart’s unraveling, coming undone

Will it ruin me or set me free?

It’s me who’s dangerous
