WRITTEN BY KEVIN BACON, MICHAEL BACON 

 

You scared me when I met you 

The way you sparkled in the dark 

I drove around for hours 

But you never showed your heart 

You took me in your arms 

That smelled of oranges and sage 

You tempted me with glory 

Until I was your slave 

Then you took me to the party  

You said you loved to watch me dance 

But you took home the latest thing 

And there was no second chance 

 

CHORUS 

Now your mountain's on fire your river's run dry 

I got a burning desire to kiss an angel good bye 

Climbing out of your smokescreen the weather looks clear 

Leave an angel below me in the City of Fear 

 

You scare me when I see you 

Because I remember times we had 

How you shook me like a baby 

Who had swallowed something bad 

You scare me because I need you 

Like a roof over my head  

Like a baby needs new shoes 

Mama's milk and daddy's bread 

But you distrust my honesty 

And you distrust my car 

And you don't like the way I look 

When I'm playing my guitar 

 

CHORUS 

 

Sometimes I'm your lover your white knight your shining star 

Sometimes I'm a dinosaur And I'm sinking in your tar 

 

CHORUS
