(Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe). . These are dangerous times. Nothing to care or die for. These are dangerous times. What you want someone will buy for you. Don't get away. It's so easy to wait. You've been wearing the green. I've been wearing the fall. And you said that all was just agreed. (chorus). Don't get away. Don't get away. I saw a guy out on the street. Said I know what you need boy. I can set you fine. I didn't buy his line because. These are dangerous times. I don't want to get old. You say that everything's fine. Then you leave me standing in the cold. (repeat chorus). It's so easy to fall. You've been trying to gain. I've been trying to stop. But it's catching up with me again. (repeat chorus). These are dangerous times. It's a dangerous time. Don't get away (it's a dangerous time). Don't get away (it's a dangerous time). Don't get away (it's a dangerous time).
