A Led Zep-like riff driving a song dealing in dangerous love.
lyrics
Over here, you hide me from the light
Over here, the darkness burns so bright
Over here, there is no sound
Safely say you keep me... from harm
On this floor, you stand so tall
On this floor, I burn so cold
Over here, your nails are so sharp
Over here, you sure look so dark
Over here, the voice inside me breaks
Safely say you keep me... from harm
For on this floor, my trembling hands are tied
And on this floor, my voice now only lies
In this corner, I’m whisperin’ your name
Safely say you keep me out of harm’s way
In this corner, you’re just my poker game
Can I safely say you keep me out of harms way?
Over here, my skin is so fair
And over here, my eyes wide, so scared
Oh over here, my heart no longer dares
I no longer say you keep me... from harm
For on this floor, my hands’ no longer tied
And on this floor, I trust no more lies
Honey, in this corner, you’re puttin’ gas on my flame
But, boy your fire won’t keep me in harm’s way
In this corner, your lies are fallin’ lame
But can safely say I’m now out of harm’s way
And in this corner with your sticks and stones
My bones may break, my heart may moan
In this corner, I’m not you’re stepping stone
In this corner, you just can’t atone
In this corner, you just can’t atone
