Dangerous Times Songtext
von R.E.M.

I don′t know if it's in my mind
Watching all the shadows behind me
′Cause I could get hurt but maybe this time
The cloud has got a silver lining.
And if I'm scared,
I got a right to be.
I know you could wound me critically.

These are dangerous times
And if I take some chances,
Put my heart on the line,
What would ya do to me?
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me safely?


Over the hill there's an army of fools
Waiting for their hearts to be broken.
How do I know if I gonna explode
When I come out in the open?
′Cause even lovers can turn into enemies.
I don′t wanna be a casualty.

These are dangerous times
And if I take some chances,
Put my heart on the line,
What would you do to me?
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me,
Would you keep me...

Baby, would you keep me safely tonight?
Can I trust you with all of my affections?
Can I trust you to be on my side
In these dangerous times?


Dangerous times
And if I take some chances,
Put my heart on the line,
What would you do to me?
If I give myself up
To these circumstances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me safely?

Oh, these are dangerous times,
And if I take some chances,
Put my heart on the line,
What would you do to me?
If I give myself up
To these circustances
In these dangerous times
Would you keep me,
Would you keep me...

Oh, baby would you keep me safely tonight?
In these dangerous times.
