These Are the Times Lyrics

These are the times we live in
All of the signs were given
We never dreamed...
They'd blow us away – so far away
Blue is the color of her eyes
They turn black in the dead of the night
She's got to always know... she's the center of attention

The way she holds her head
She's like a cat scratching at your bed
She'll always be the queen... of infatuation

I use to love the danger
We used to run on the edge of the knife
She was fallen angel
Another tabloid socialite

These are the times we live in
All of the signs were given
We never dreamed...
They'd blow us away – so far away
Red was the color of her lips
She had the magic and did all the tricks
She played the wicked games... of the master magician

The way she moved her lips
Was like a hustler tryin' to make it rich
I finally figured out... her unholy mission
I use to feed her fire
I never thought I's feel the burn
She was my sole desire
That was the hardest lesson to learn

These are the times we live in
All of the signs were given
We never dreamed...
They'd blow us away – so far away

These are the times we live in
All of the signs were given
We never dreamed...
They'd blow us away – so far away
