Dangerous Backgrounds Lyrics

You never really wanted me

You loved the man you thought that I might be

So when I broke down, you ran away

I never thought that I would need a key

I knew you'd feed me if I needed to be fed

But now I'm cold and I've got nowhere to stay

Dangerous backgrounds

The engine is burning now

Mama is calling you out

I told you, babe, I would always be

A man that you can trust let's run away

No one 'round here is changing anyway, no

Dangerous backgrounds

The lighthouse is fading now

These tragedies make no sound

You'd hitch a ride along the interstate

Bring my guitar and we'll take your freeway

No one 'round here will miss us anyway, no

Dangerous backgrounds

The engine is burning now

These tragedies make no sound

Dangerous backgrounds

The lighthouse is burning down

Mama is calling you out
