Lyrics

It's Getting Dangerous

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The man finds himself alone for the first time in his life

He knows he's got a problem, he's got to work it out wrong or right

He's got to work it out, he's so lonely in the night

He's got to work it out all it alone

Now who in the world would believe he's got another trick up the sleeve

And who in the world wants to know which way he should go

Which way should he turn? Which way should he learn?

Which day should he stop? Which way to the top?

I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

I still can recall when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

This living on his own has turned his heart to stone and it's all pain

He sits out on his own and eats his heart out alone in the pouring rain

Now who in the world would have known

That just a few years ago his love could have grown and grown

Through the rain, the sleet and snow

But the rain, the sleet and snow chills the heart and kills the soul

So let the cold winds blow

What he doesn't see he doesn't know

I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

Of danger

He said: Watch out for the danger

He said: Watch out

The man is a winner for the first time in his life

He looks a little thinner but he says: Hey that doesn't matter

But if you look closely

You'll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind his evil lies

And now that he has won it doesn't matter how or which way it was done

Now that he's in control, revenge is in his heart and soul

The power is at his fingertips, vengeance is on his lips

But the power he fought to control now has got him in its grips

I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

I remember it still, I always will when we were friends way back then

I recall it all when we were small how he tried his best to warn us all

Of the danger

I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, way back then

But now we're all grown up and we're strangers

You see, bit by bit, part by part, we slipped and slipped

Till we'd grown apart and now we're strangers

I remember him when we were friends, when we were young, and thus way back then

I still recall it all when we were small how he tried his best, he said

Watch out for the danger

But, bit by bit, we slipped and slipped

Now we'd grown apart and we're strangers
