[Verse 1]
Oh baby, this is the land of danger
(Each and every home a battlefield)
Oh baby, this is the throat of a stranger
(Searching for the blood that's now congealed)
Oh baby, this is a thick muddy mystery
(Tearing at the pages of our past)
Oh baby, this is the straight path of history
(Human motion, land and ocean)
[Chorus]
Try to run
Try to hide
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long time
[Verse 2]
Oh baby, this is the fresh flesh of anger
(Calling out for action in the streets)
Oh baby, this is a slow running canker
(Opened up by victories and defeats)
Oh baby, this is the night of the dancer
(Dancing on a time bomb in my head)
Oh baby, this is the ultimate cancer
(Human notion, fear in motion)
[Chorus]
Try to run
Try to hide
It's been a long, long, long, long, long, long time
It's been a long, long, long, long, long time
[Coda]
Don't tell me everything's gonna work out anymore
Don't tell me everything's gonna work out anymore
Of danger
Of danger
Of danger
Of danger
Don't tell me everything's gonna work out
