Lyrics Paul Westerberg

Paul Westerberg

Dangerous Boys

They come from nowhere

And everywhere to share your bed.

When they’re asleep

At least you won’t feel dead.

Dangerous boys – all break in the night.

Fall to pieces – in front of your eyes

You mend them back together – and make em feel safe.

Except for that one boy – who keeps breaking like a wave.

They ask you, ‘where am I?’

‘Where am I going, where have I been?’

You tell ‘em, ‘Don’t cry’

It don’t matter cause your coming with.

Dangerous boys – all break in the night.

Fall to pieces – a secret for your eyes

You mend them back together – and make them feel safe.

Except for that one boy – who keeps breaking like a wave.

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey

If God is their ocean,

You’ll be in a dangerous land

Treat ‘em with the motion

Dammit quit playing in your sand.

Seen them shatter, seen them scatter – to the wind.

It doesn’t matter because you won’t be coming with.

You mend them back together, with a little tape, and your faith.

Except for that one boy – who keeps breaking like a wave.

Mend them back together – send them out the door.

Except for that one boy – who keeps crashing at your shore.

Crashing, at your, shore – shore
