The Scent Of Danger

Take me out of my head with your head.
Now forgive me, but bold is my baseline.
Make no mistake I must be comfortable,
drawn in by the depth of conversation. 

Now forgive me, but bold is my baseline.
I want you to taste my entire body. 
Drawn in by the depth of conversation,
please take me even deeper inside.

I want you to taste my entire body,
never stopping to come up for air.
Please take me even deeper inside,
just don’t forget the way back out. 

Never stopping to come up for air,
how long can you handle the pressure?
Just don’t  forget the way back out, 
danger smells better than protection. 

How long can you handle the pressure?
Make no mistake I must be comfortable.
Danger smells better than protection,
take me out of my head with your head.
