A Dangerous Place To Seek Solace Lyrics

Get this and get it straight

Crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison or the grave

This started out with a terrified woman lost in a maze of memories she couldn't explain

And waiting for her outside an open window was death

Under the light of a neon sky

In his hands he holds a foreign beer

The words she said to him, still pierce him like a spear

He stands out among the crowd

And the signs that he cannot read

Or understand the directions that he needs to get back

Alcohol rushes to his head

Euphoric illusions of intellect

You can be anyone you want to be, he said

A new shape emerges from the fog and claims its place

A house of God it seems

A sermon is well underway

The chanting rushes to his head

Understanding every prayer said

We'll grant you love you've never had, they said

It's time for silver chalices and religious rites

He knows that what he's done cannot be set right

Or even turn the tide

The blood rushes to his head

He grabs the pills beside his bed

Dreams are a dangerous place to seek solace, I said

There was a guy once, a long time ago

Who said something like: "no man is an island, entire of itself"

Yeah, about 300 years ago he said that

Any man's death diminishes me, because I'm involved in mankind

Yeah, sure
