Dangerous Game Lyrics

[Verse 1: Marcus Mumford & Clairo]
Tennessee heat in a wood-panelled room
I put myself into his care again
In a high school chair for the visiting hour
From you of all people


[Verse 2: Marcus Mumford & Clairo]
Now he tells me to conjure you up
And so we meet again and again at the bottom of the garden
And I'm chasing a ghost all around the room
And now you're strung up on the ceiling
And it's you of all people

[Chorus: Marcus Mumford & Clairo]
It's a dangerous game to play with fire
For a brand-new mind
A dangerous game, a man on the wire
Get me out of my mind

[Verse 3: Marcus Mumford & Clairo]
Tied to the hope of another way through
It's chained at my ankles, they took away my shoes
Now I see the only way through is chained at the ankles
With you of all people
Get me out of my mind
Out of my mind
Out of my mind
[Chorus: Clairo, Clairo & Marcus Mumford]
It's a dangerous game to play with fire
For a brand-new mind
A dangerous game, it's a dangerous game
With you on my side
With you in my mind
A dangerous game, a man on the wire
Get me out of my mind
