REM - Dangerous Times lyrics

rate me

(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)

These are dangerous times

Nothing to care or die for

These are dangerous times

What you want, someone will buy for you

Don't get away

It's so easy to wait

You've been wearing the green

I've been wearing the fall

And you said that all was just agreed

(chorus)

Don't get away

Don't get away

I saw a guy out on the street

Said, I know what you need, boy

I can set you fine

I didn't buy his line, because

These are dangerous times

I don't want to get old

You say that everything's fine

Then you leave me standing in the cold

(repeat chorus)

It's so easy to fall

You've been trying to gain

I've been trying to stop

But it's catching up with me again

(repeat chorus)

These are dangerous times

It's a dangerous time

Don't get away (it's a dangerous time)

Don't get away (it's a dangerous time)

Don't get away (it's a dangerous time)
