Barenaked Ladies — Lovers in a Dangerous Time

[Verse 1] Don't the hours grow shorter as the days go by We never get to stop and open our eyes One minute you're waiting for the sky to fall And next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all [Chorus] Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time [Verse 2] These fragile bodies of touch and taste This fragrant skin—this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste [Chorus] Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time [Verse 3] When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight [Chorus] Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time [Outro] We were lovers in a dangerous time We were lovers in a dangerous time Lovers, lovers, lovers, oh Lovers in a dangerous time
