Danger Made Attractive
Somewhere in the wiring danger wears a certain look,
the thing that should repel me is the thing that has me hooked.
She is the kind of woman who has burned a dozen down,
and here I am presenting myself for the next round.
Danger made attractive is a hell of a design,
the worst ideas come wrapped up in the finest line.
I know what she has done and I know what she can do,
danger made attractive and I am moving toward it too.
The reasonable part of me has filed a clear report,
the evidence is all against, the verdict has been short.
But there is another part that reads the evidence different,
and sees the danger as the draw, the risk as the ingredient.
She has left a trail of damage and a trail of broken plans,
and men who should have known enough to take it in their hands.
I am the latest in the sequence and the clearest in my sight,
and I am going toward the danger like it is a light.
