Face Of Danger Lyrics - Head Up High - Morcheeba

By the skin of my teeth, by the sweat of my brow 

I made it through, but you don't know how 

When it's a matter of life or death 

I'll drag it out so don't hold your breath 

Put me in danger and I feel no fear 

Take something from me and I'll shed no tears 

I'm self-contained and I want what I need 

You have to work hard just to see me bleed 

Oh, laughing in the face of danger 

Oh, in this passion with a stranger 

Oh, laughing in the face of danger 

Oh, in this passion with a stranger 

Yeah, I don't need your love 

Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood

Sliding down on a slippery slope 

Inside see that there are no ropes 

I have to confess that I feel no shame 

I'm gonna have fun playing out this game 

It's true that the dead men tell no tales 

I'll be the judge when you tip the scales 

Where's the intelligence that comes with age 

I don't need religion or a self-help sage 

Oh, laughing in the face of danger 

Oh, in this passion with a stranger 

Oh, laughing in the face of danger 

Oh, in this passion with a stranger 

Yeah, I don't need your love 

Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood 

My path is to race against the anger 

In the past when I've laughed in the face of danger 

I've been asked to embrace a stranger 

As I leave into the grass of my sexed-up neighbors 

Photos 

A rash as I race from nations 

As I walk a straight path in a wasted nation 

See me defend in at worst of places 

In an effort to suppress & to test my patience, but 

I make immovable objects 

Hoping to get them moving in an immovable context 

They confess like a thief in the night 

For a foundation when they're deep as behind the dog cat fights 

You're always trying to sabotage 

Dressed in camouflage 

Double down the laws trying to burn like a camouflage 

Fill a prescription like a doctor 

No one led by this fool that thinks we shall prosper 

Oh, laughing in the face of danger 

Oh, in this passion with a stranger 

Oh, laughing in the face of danger 

Oh, in this passion with a stranger 

Yeah, I don't need your love 

Yeah, I'm gonna spill your blood
