Gene Clark Dangerous Games Lyrics

Dangerous Games Lyrics

Got a message this morning 
And the message was clear 
She`s changing planes in New Orleans 
Moving back to this hemisphere 
She got too lonely in Rio 
Going out of her mind 
Hard to keep her profile down 
With a face so well defined 
 
Now she swears it`s behind her 
All the smugglers schemes 
How could such a nightmare 
Come out of such a beautiful dream 
Who would think you`d get lonely 
In a town that knows no shame 
Where the biggest attraction 
Is playing dangerous games 
Playing dangerous games 
Playing 
 
Started out in Vallarta 
On just a innocent fling 
She took it back to Newport Beach 
And turned it into a diamond ring 
But one thing led to another 
She got caught up in a tide 
She was the queen of the social scene 
With all the jokers by her side 
 
Now she swears it`s behind her 
All the smugglers schemes 
How could such a nightmare 
Come from such a beautiful dream 
Who would think you`d get lonely 
In a town that has no shame 
Where the biggest attraction 
Is learning how to play a dangerous game 
Your gonna play the smugglers game 
That`s how you`re gonna get your fame 
 
A South American sailor 
Who wore the naval tattoo 
Took her so much higher than 
Any man she ever knew 
In all the capital cities 
He`s known by numerous names 
When the heat came down on the underground 
His name was already changed 
 
So now she swears it`s behind her 
All the smugglers schemes 
How could she find a nightmare 
Hidden underneath a beautiful dream 
Who would think you`d get lonely 
In a town that knows no shame 
Where the biggest attraction 
Is playing dangerous games 
Playing dangerous games 
Dangerous games 
 
In the festival season 
Right in the middle of town 
Man was there with an icy stare 
To make sure that the deal went down 
And just as quick as it started 
It was over and done 
The icy stare turned into a flare 
On the fire of his gun 
 
But now she swears it`s behind her 
All the smugglers schemes 
She found that there was a nightmare 
In all those beautiful dreams 
Who would think you`d get lonely 
In a town that has no shame 
Where the biggest attraction 
Is learning how to play the game 
Learning how to play the dangerous game 
Playing a dangerous game 
 
Now she swears it`s behind her 
All the smugglers schemes 
How could such a nightmare 
Come from such a beautiful dream
