The city sleeps on the edge of night,
Ordinary people turn out the light.
On hidden paths, where shadows dance,
Two hearts are taking a desperate chance.
There is no map and we won't be told,
And our souls were long ago sold.
Lovers love danger, don't you know.

The sirens are close, but we won't run,
Our midnight dance has just begun.
We walk into the raging flames,
Whispering the secret names.
No rear-view mirror, no slowing down,
No landing gear as we hit the ground.
Lovers love danger, don't you know.

We're begging the storm to come and stay,
To wash all the quiet of the world away.
To catch the flash, we leap so high,
chasing the lightning in the sky
There's no net, and there is no trust
The pistol's cocked, and aimed straight at us.
Lovers love danger, don't you know.

They want a love that's quiet and tame,
But that kind of touch isn't worth the game.
We'd rather fall, from the highest place,
Than leave a quiet, forgotten trace.
We found what we love, now let it kill
all that is common and all that is still.
Lovers love danger, don't you know.
