What I Need

it's not like I'm looking to bungee
hang-glide or trek the Alps
supercross and street luging are out
and so is riding a bull
it's not like I'm looking for danger
I'm a far cry from being a masochist
but I AM looking for something
something that's amiss

I'm looking for excitement
pleasure in obscure ways
I'm looking for adventure
after a boring day
I'm just looking for more
more than I have right now
and if this scares you
sounds like a dare to you
I'm sorry, but its what I need
