Lyrics

You're dangerous, 'cos you're honest
You're dangerous, 'cos you don't know what you want
Well, you left my heart empty as a vacant lot
For any spirit to haunt
Hey, hey, sha-la-la
Hey, hey
You're an accident waiting to happen
You're a piece of glass left there on a beach
Well, you tell me things I know you're not supposed to
Then you leave me just out of reach
Hey, hey, sha-la-la
Hey, hey, sha-la-la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Well, you stole it, 'cos I needed the cash
And you killed it, 'cos I wanted revenge
Well, you lied to me, 'cos I asked you to
Baby, can we still be friends?
Hey, hey, sha-la-la
Hey, hey, sha-la-la
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna fall at the foot of thee?
Ah, the deeper I spin
Ah, the hunter will sin for your ivory skin
Took a drive in the dirty rain
To a place where the wind calls your name
Under the trees the river laughing at you and me
Hallelujah! Heaven's white rose
The doors you open, I just can't close
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around you're on the track
Don't turn around, don't turn around again
Don't turn around, don't look back
Will you come on now, love?
Don't you look back
Who's gonna ride your wild horses?
Who's gonna drown in your blue sea?
Who's gonna taste your saltwater kisses?
Who's gonna take the place of me?
Come on now, love
Come on now, love
Come on now, love
Come on now, love
Ride on
Ride
Ride on
