Duran Duran - Safe (In The Heat Of The Moment) Lyrics

People say you've been around
How 'bout you and me get down?
How 'bout you and me get down?
Babe, I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?
Don't you want to be misled?

Fame seems a far-off day
When enough was never enough
Vain, how I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough

Strange, how we explain the story that we've lived through
Change, my karma train, the person I can be for you is

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Dazed by my own escape
From the single state I was used to
Face my Catch-22
Can I stay this way if I choose to?

Wrong, to be so contained, now I can't explain what is happening
Strong, is the human chain, as it pulls me through, what I bring to you is

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Fame seems a far-off date
When enough was never enough
Vain, how I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough

Hook a finger, wink an eye
Caresses running up your thigh
Scratch my surface, dig in deep
There's always secrets left to keep
Safe not sound, who made these rules?
Crowd control for enlightened fools
So come on, boy, let's change the pace
Come feel the chill of my embrace

People say you've been around
How 'bout you and me get down?
How 'bout you and me get down?
Babe, I know you've been around
Unmake your bed
Don't think about what lies ahead
Don't you want to be misled?
Don't you want to be misled?

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too

Safe (Safe, in the heat of the moment), a stillness that comes to me when I'm close to you
Safe (Safe, at the speed of atonement), a feeling that runs so deep that it scares me too
