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
