Dangerous Blues Lyrics

All I do is lie, by the oceanside
Why do the clouds all turn grey just for you?
I've never bloomed such a beautiful blues

Step outside your door, and go down to the shore
Why do your eyes feel like shells in a dune?
What makes a crowd turn away from a tune?
I've never bloomed such a beautiful blues

Even the tide gets high at night
Even the truth is wrong sometimes

All I want to do is dig hole with you
Feet are no stranger to the undertow
Wind won't decide which way to blow

But we will never leave,
You're all that's left for me
This a home we just don't have a door
Euphoria is a risk on the floor
Words keep on crawling from under the rug
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?

Even the tide gets high at night
Even the truth is wrong sometimes, sometimes

Who knew that love was a beautiful blues?
Who knew that love was a dangerous drug?
Now I know love is a beautiful drug
I know that drug is a dangerous love
I know now love is a dangerous blues

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Dangerous Blues lyrics by Young Veins, The

What an incredible song by Ryan Ross. The real backbone of Panic. Yes Brendon and Ross need each other. Listen to all their music and saw them play live last month in Dallas. Brendon can hire good musicians but you can't replace Ross and this is what missing with Panic. Ryan is so talented I just don't understand why he didn't do more side projects like Brandon Flowers and still get along with Panic?

The song - Ryan is telling us love conquers all. When you love someone it does not matter what you do as long as you love and are in love. When you are in love things are so magical yet the outcomes are not certain. That is the theme to the dangerous drug. Now you don't find that out until you are there.

The melody of this song is amazing. It captures the beauty of being in love and not really knowing where it is taking you yet you want to be there and are willing to go through with the journey.

What a beautiful song.
