WRITTEN BY KEVIN BACON, MICHAEL BACON  
  
You scared me when I met you  
The way you sparkled in the dark  
I drove around for hours  
But you never showed your heart  
You took me in your arms  
That smelled of oranges and sage  
You tempted me with glory  
Until I was your slave  
Then you took me to the party   
You said you loved to watch me dance  
But you took home the latest thing  
And there was no second chance  
  
CHORUS  
Now your mountain's on fire your river's run dry  
I got a burning desire to kiss an angel good bye  
Climbing out of your smokescreen the weather looks clear  
Leave an angel below me in the City of Fear  
  
You scare me when I see you  
Because I remember times we had  
How you shook me like a baby  
Who had swallowed something bad  
You scare me because I need you  
Like a roof over my head   
Like a baby needs new shoes  
Mama's milk and daddy's bread  
But you distrust my honesty  
And you distrust my car  
And you don't like the way I look  
When I'm playing my guitar  
  
CHORUS  
  
Sometimes I'm your lover your white knight your shining star  
Sometimes I'm a dinosaur And I'm sinking in your tar  
  
CHORUS
