I woke up in a room Like I always do Found myself alone Before the ringing telephone Screaming into view There were books And dead guitars And a face that looked like you But it was just a mask Staring from the past I put it on I saw a vision from my youth Oooh Walked towards the window And saw something orange and bright I lifted up the blind And I was blinded by the light And in some abandoned car Somebody I once knew Summoned all the pain And shouted out your name They said this is our second coming These are dangerous times They are hard to understand If you don't feel it in your heart You ll never hold it in your hands These are dangerous times And really hard to understand If you don t get it through your head You ll never hold it in your hands So take me by the wrist Drag me out from all of this Take me by the arms and legs and chest And rip me from the anger And take me from my home My home s become the water And take me by the hand If I d ever give a damn I could leave this place right now And never show my face again Dangerous times They are hard to understand If you don t feel it in your heart You ll never hold it in your hands Well, These are dangerous times And really hard to understand If you don't get it through your head You ll never hold it in your hands These are dangerous times
