Cuidado (21)

So late it's nearly morning, coming from the bar
You know that you've been drinking but it's really not that far
Red light up ahead but there's nobody around
Blood and speed above the limit, wheels don't seem to touch the ground
Cuidado
Was that a movement in the corner of you eye, you'll never know
Cuidado
The screaming of the brakes and there is nowhere left to go

All the danger signs are there and you're walking in alone, hey
Eyes wide open... your brain is closed

All the danger signs are there and you're walking in alone, hey
Eyes wide open... your brain is closed

You think that you can take it and no- one would ever know
A little difference, small percentage off the top will never show
The money's in your pocket and you're starting with the lies
You feel like you could walk on air, your hand is on the prize
Cuidado
You can lose everything in instants though you think you know it all.
Cuidado
Your reputation and your family and your future take the fall.

All the danger signs are there and you're walking in alone, hey
Eyes wide open... your brain is closed

Another day, another bar, last drink in your hand
The air is closing in, you feel like you can hardly stand
Then you see her thorough the shadows, all the make-up round her eyes
Her movements slow and sinuous, alluring, decisive
Cuidado
We've seen it all before and we all know what's going on
Cuidado
You let temptation lead the way then everything you had is gone
...all gone

It's a slippery slope that only leads one way
It's going to catch up with you and you'll fall one day

All the danger signs are there and you're walking in alone, hey
Eyes wide open... your brain is closed
All the danger signs are there and you're walking in alone, in alone
Eyes wide open... your brain is closed
