Danger
Kiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the night I will be waitin'
Ready to go, soon as the daylight is fadin'
In the night my heart is beating
Out of control, can't stop the way that I'm feeling
I want to know how far to go, takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone, call me the desperate man

Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain, boiling the blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way, I'll make the best of my days

In the night, oh, I can feel it
Time slips away, if I can't pay I will steal it
In the night I will be screamin'
Hour by hour livin' the life that I'm dreamin'
Under the gun, I'll be the one, walking the edge of the knife
Taking the best, leaving the rest, I'm gonna run for my life

Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain, boiling the blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way, I'll make the best of my days
I want to know how far to go, takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone, call me the desperate man

Danger, danger, give me danger, danger




Give me fires that endlessly burn, I've passed the point of return
Danger, danger, danger, danger, danger, danger
