Dangerous Times

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
