Safe (In the Heat of the Moment) Songtext
von Duran Duran

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 day
When enough was never enough
Vain, how I played my hand
One more reckless man in the rough

Hoоk 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
