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
