Close To Me
I got no sense of danger, When I met her at first, Though with hindsight's cold certainty I was always a target. From the very start She'd been training her sights on me. I only later discovered To her family and friends She'd refer to me constantly As if our casual acquaintance Were a bigger thing. But I'm not part of her history, No I'm not part of the action, I've no part in the plot. In all honesty She was never that close to me. When I heard of the stories She'd been spreading around, The malevolent fantasies I broke off any contact, Thought that was civilised. How could I have been so naive? I've been dumb and defenceless While she's been dogging my steps Homicidally. She got dangerously close you see, She got dangerously close to me. Aus Songtexte Mania
