Cities Never Sleep - Safe Bet Lyrics

The sun beams on her skin
Shimmering like diamond rain drops in the heat
And it's clouding up my inhibitions
Do you even see everything I do to catch your eye
So I sit back and fade into the black
It seems my camouflage is working perfectly

I couldn't kill a fly to save my life
But I would cross every line
Even though I'd get my ass kicked every time

This summer is a new pollution
And I'll keep singing till the girl comes home
I'm a safe bet
But you don't want a safe bet
You want someone who will take your heart and run

The smoke clears and I stand sword in hand to save my maiden from the beast
And I see her screaming in his grips and I yell
Hey you! Get your filthy hands off her!
So I sit back and ready my attack
But the morning shines and burns my dreams away

This summer is a new pollution
And I'll keep singing till the girl comes home
I'm a safe bet
But you don't want a safe bet
You want someone who will take your heart and run
So here we are now patiently waiting for something to do until my backbone comes in the mail
I'm a nice guy
But you don't want a nice guy
You want someone who will break your heart for fun

So come on baby give me everything you've got now
I can see your every move, you won't get away from me
Honey I know that you can see me coming around

I would save your life but I would probably die every time
Let's just face it
These arms aren't top of the line

This summer is a new pollution
And I'll keep singing till the girl comes home
I'm a safe bet
But you don't want a safe bet
You want someone who will take your heart and run
So here we are now patiently waiting for something to do until my backbone comes in the mail
I'm a nice guy
But you don't want a nice guy
You want someone who will break your heart for fun
