I've been sitting downwind from your cigarettes for too long
Dancing with your eyes, as your eyebrows remain still
Alligator tears reflecting through a lava lamp in the corner
Of a darkroom casting monochrome rainbows
Maribel's dangerous
Maribel's dangerous
She's been staring at me for an hour or maybe longer
I could have looked away but I didn't want to make a scene
Sentimental singles leaking from a gramophone in the hallway
But I don't want to wake the neighbours
Maribel's dangerous (You should have listened to your mother when she said)
Maribel's dangerous (You should have run away and put yourself to bed)
I didn't know what I was getting into when I said I'd stay
Well maybe I'm to blame
But what we have before us is tape recorders, marching orders now
And we've both said too much anyway
Stepping out at midnight I can feel the tension mounting
With a third hand in my pocket and a friendly face
Elegant departures have been made for someone else, so embrace me
And I'll have a reason to be famous
Maribel's dangerous (You should have listened to your mother when she said)
Maribel's dangerous (You should have run away and put yourself to bed)
Maribel's dangerous (You should have listened to your mother when she said)
Maribel's dangerous (You should have run away and put yourself to bed)
