Honestly Now (safety's Just Danger... Out Of Place) Lyrics - Harry Connick, Jr.

Honestly now 

Either you stand for something 

Or you get knocked down for nothing 

Sister don't ache too soon 

I thought it was understood 

By everyone in this room 

Who'd ever come up short or won a race 

Safety's just danger out of place 

Truly now 

People play tricks on your mind 

Shadows only follow behind 

Sister stay still 

I thought it was the nature 

Of all on Malvern's Hill 

Who'd taken a lead off third base 

Safety's just danger out of place 

Honestly now 

If fate were to follow fortune 

And clarity drowned distortion 

Sister on alert 

Pay close attention 

To fingerprints in the dirt 

And fallen feet that leave no trace 

Safety's just danger out of place 

Sincerely now 

I requested information 

At a roadside station 

Sister it seems absurd 

To be hammering pith 

Like a poet with a loss for words 

Trying to describe an angel's face 

Safety's just danger out of place 

Honestly now 

Wholly in demand 

Coming off second hand 

Sister don't unravel 

When there's nowhere to go 

Except lawless travel 

And an end to infinity's space 

Safety's just danger, safety's just danger
