"Dangerous" lyrics

Dangerous

(With Howard Jones)

I know I won't change
I have tried
Was feeling so caged
Hands tied
I can't find anything
Feeling so right
It's blinding all

The reaper is close
I've seen his smile
A matter of time
Can't deny
I won't turn around
Round, round
This destiny's mine

The countdown has begun
The walls are falling down
My life is on the line
But freedom is mine

It's dangerous
To sacrifice
It makes your blood run
To throw the dice
It's dangerous
It's what you like
It's what you'll die for
To live this life

We're going on
No we'll never stop
We're going on
Till worlds collide
It's dangerous
So dangerous
Dangerous

I know it's not sane
Close my eyes
I've searched for the edge
Of life
Cause that's the only place
I'll ever find
That makes me whole

A thief in the night
Out of sight
It's out there waiting
To ignite
The fever will rise
Rise, rise
Taking over my mind

The countdown has begun
The walls are falling down
My life is on the line
But freedom is mine

It's dangerous
To sacrifice
It makes your blood run
To throw the dice
It's dangerous
It's what you like
It's what you'll die for
To live this life

We're going on
No we'll never stop
We're going on
Till worlds collide
It's dangerous
So dangerous
Dangerous

Nothing matters anyhow
It's like I'm floating off the ground
Into the hands of air I dive
Rays of light flashing by

Like the time is slowing down
And the world is out of sight
All the memories in my mind
Won't leave me behind

It's dangerous
Dangerous
It's dangerous
Dangerous
It's dangerous

It's dangerous
To sacrifice
It makes your blood run
To throw the dice
It's dangerous
It's what you like
It's what you'll die for
To live this life

We're going on
No we'll never stop
We're going on
Till worlds collide
It's dangerous
So dangerous
Dangerous
