Lyrics:

Out of money, out on the streets
This wasn't your dream
Thought you'd make it high to the top
but stumbled in between
Wanted to catch a piece of the action
you couldn't resist
Bought a ticket to another dimension
where troubles don't exist

Unleashing the creature that rules your mind
it hits you like thunder, it's dragging you under
Can't you see you're losing control

Dangerous joys - shot right through the brain
gonna crack you up, drive you insane
Dangerous joys - running through your veins
gonna crack you up, please break it up
Break it up

Flying high on borrowed illusions
you're playing with fire
Being dominated
by obsessing desire

The fever is rising, it's like a disease
Can't you see you're down on your knees

Dangerous joys - shot right through the brain
gonna crack you up, drive you insane
Dangerous joys - running through your veins
gonna wrack you up, so please - break it up

You're not being something special (...this is difficult to hear; what's really being said?)
It puts you on the threshold

Dangerous joys - shot right through the brain
gonna crack you up, drive you insane
Dangerous joys - running through your veins
gonna wrack you up, so please - break it up
