(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe)
These are dangerous times
Nothing to care or die for
These are dangerous times
What you want, someone will buy for you
Don`t get away
It`s so easy to wait
You`ve been wearing the green
I`ve been wearing the fall
And you said that all was just agreed
(chorus)
Don`t get away
Don`t get away
I saw a guy out on the street
Said, I know what you need, boy
I can set you fine
I didn`t buy his line, because
These are dangerous times
I don`t want to get old
You say that everything`s fine
Then you leave me standing in the cold
(repeat chorus)
It`s so easy to fall
You`ve been trying to gain
I`ve been trying to stop
But it`s catching up with me again
(repeat chorus)
These are dangerous times
It`s a dangerous time
Don`t get away (it`s a dangerous time)
Don`t get away (it`s a dangerous time)
Don`t get away (it`s a dangerous time)
