Tennessee heat in a wood-panelled room
I put myself into his care again
In a high school chair for the visiting hour
From you of all people

Now he tells me to conjure you up
And so we meet again and again at the bottom of the garden
And I'm chasing a ghost all around the room
And now you're strung up on the ceiling
And it's you of all people

It's a dangerous game to play with fire
For a brand-new mind
A dangerous game, a man on the wire
Get me out of my mind

Tied to the hope of another way through
It's chained at my ankles, they took away my shoes
Now I see the only way through is chained at the ankles
With you of all people
Get me out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind

It's a dangerous game to play with fire
For a brand-new mind
A dangerous game, it's a dangerous game
With you on my side
With you in my mind
A dangerous game, a man on the wire
Get me out of my mind
