Dangerous Business Since 1979 Songtext

My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

Kiss me one last time

[x2]



Time is running, it's running on empty

And the gas is running out

I've decided tonight is the night

That I let love aside

Full speed ahead this seems to be the place
I've seen this once before

Planned perfection sought in my dreams

Hoping this would take you home



If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (I could be your servant)

If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (If I could be your servant) [My knuckles have turned to white]

If I could become the servant of all, no lower place to fall. (I could be your servant) [There's no turning back tonight kiss me on last time]



You watched me like a 10-car highway wreck with detached, vulgar curiosity

As looking down on the tops of the hats of us passersby from your seventh floor balcony

And from such a height you missed creatures too small for sight (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)

Carry on, over conversation as the misguided insects (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)

Crown me their grasshopper king with a dance of celebration (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)



My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

Kiss me one last time

Shut your eyes



My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

So hold on tight

Kiss me one last time

Shut your...



I will now bring new meaning to the word alone

Endless nights of dreaming of life

And the days we should have spent here



"What the matter? Something wrong?"

"Wrong? Ooh no no... everythings just... well, odd, I don't seem... I'm not even sure who I am.."

"Well, we can certainly straighten you out on that." (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)

"Just who are?" (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)

"I'm you're better self, you're subconscious self." (Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep)

"My? What?"

"Your better self."



It was a matter of time,

I always said I could see but now I'm going blind. (I could be your servant) [Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep]

It was a matter of time,

I always said I could see but now Im going blind. (If I could be your servant) [Drowning in my sleep, I'm drowning in my sleep]

It was a matter of time,

I always said I could see but now I'm going blind. (I could be your servant)

It was a matter of miserable time but I heard somewhere,

There was a cure for useless eyes. (If I could be your servant)



My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

Kiss me one last time

Shut your eyes]



My knuckles have turned to white

There's no turning back tonight

So hold on tight]

Kiss me one last time

Shut your
