Danger In The Past

Danger in the past, mmm
Danger in the past, yeah
Your sister picked me up at the station
She told me they’d taken you in
The word was it was just observation
I thought, "Here we go again"
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
So I went & I saw you
We walked through the hospital grounds
I took your hand & I told you,
"Never show your problems in a country town."
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
We had friends
We had friends that didn’t make twenty-five
I knew a genius in a bedroom who couldn’t walk outside
There have been some tremors in our lives
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
Your mother is a saint
With her goodwill & with strength
I think that she thought that we were once lovers
Now she seems happier that we’re friends
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
So you signed yourself out
With a cross & with a curse
You took my arm & you told me
That you knew some good people there in Perth
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
So I went back to my own city
To find that I’d made enemies while I was away
You might think this is a hard thing to do
& it was your sister who used to say:
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
Danger in the past
Danger
Danger
Danger
Danger in the past, mmm
Danger in the past, yeah
