Sometimes too much perspective
Is more dangerous than none
Sometimes a lofty pedestal
More deadly than a gun
A shining adulation
That you yourself create
Can be the deadly blindfold
That seals your self-made fate
Don’t go there
It’s where angels fear to tread
Don’t lose yourself in fantasy
You’ve got to keep your head
Learn the rules as you go along
Blindfolded and spun around
Dangerous things
They all abound
Sometimes a frivolous game
Is more treacherous than war
So choose your battles carefully
And games to just ignore
Sometimes great expectations
Can hurt more than the lash
Sometimes a single candle
Can reduce a tower to ash
Don’t go there
It’s where angels fear to tread
Don’t lose yourself in fantasy
You’ve got to keep your head
Learn the rules as you go along
Blindfolded and spun around
Dangerous things
They all abound
Sometimes wishes are more potent
Than curses flung in ire
And sometimes they are twice as jinxed
When forged in passion’s fire
So be careful what you wish for
Or the dreams you might reveal
In the long run they may haunt you
And distort your true ideals
Don’t go there
It’s where angels fear to tread
Don’t lose yourself in fantasy
You’ve got to keep your head
Learn the rules as you go along
Blindfolded and spun around
Dangerous things
They all abound
