  • I'm pinned down by the dark

    Been fighting with my sheets and nearly crying in my sleep
    Yes, I'm battling that well-told gripe, the most restraining type
    You should have racing stripes the way you keep me in pursuit
    Sharpen the heel of your boot and you press it to my chest
    And you make me wheeze, then to my knees you do promote me

    I'm pinned down by the dark
    A-N-I-M-A-L
    Makes my head pirouette
    More than I would be willing to confess
    D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S

    The light it fidgets through, the thoughts'll soon revert to you
    About as bashful as a tribal dance, the first and final chance
    And course the audience of frighteners and fiends
    Divided up into two teams
    When the acrobat fell off the beam, she broke everyone's heart

    I'm pinned down by the dark
    A-N-I-M-A-L
    Makes my head pirouette
    More than I would be willing to confess
    D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
    D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
    The most unsuitable pet
    It's been long enough now, so let's
    Make a mess lioness

    I'm pinned down by the dark
    I'm pinned down by the dark, oh-oh-oh

    D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
    A-N-I-M-A-L
    D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
