[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
I met you at the barricade
It's fever pitch where the crowd has gathered
You said the bow is breaking
You want to get some coffee or something and
Float by the crowd that scatters
I found my people and nothing else matters
Bullhorns and feedback in stormy skies
No one listens but you're so hot when you try

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
'Cause you've got a taste for danger
It turns you on
Just take a look in your face
I know what's going on
(What's going on?)
You like the taste of danger

[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
Tiptoe through the riots
Vandals laced and braced for action
No sense, no consequence
Greenstick fracture
Bounce back at you

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
You've got a taste for danger
So bring it on
Just take a look in your face
I know what's going on
(What's going on?)
You got a taste of danger

[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
Beggars stare at the brand new sneakers on the
Anarchists and celebrity speakers
These are improbable days my friends
Tomorrow's mundane, all good things must end
And the cops told the crowd they must disperse
Your pretty eyes fall as the tear gas burst
Here come the horses and we move along
And I promise I'll see you but the moment is gone
Danger!

[Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins]
You're shocked when the spray can splatters
Deliver us from the chumps and suckers
You and me killing time in the present tense
Bound together by someone to fight against

[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
'Cause you've lost the taste for danger
And now it's gone
Just take a look in your eyes
I know that something's wrong
(What's going on?)
You lost the taste for danger

[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
I used to be a dissident citizen
I used to be a dissident citizen
I used to be a dissident citizen
You got a taste for danger
You got a taste for danger
You got a taste for danger
But now it's gone
You got a taste for danger

Third Eye Blind from San Francisco Mission District Mostly guitars with other things knocking around Riffs and deep beats Lyrics are expanded in a kinda hip hop way That wrong thing you’re not supposed to say- we say it Black on Black pretty much from the beginning It took us so long to get things this way but it really feels like we are underway now Jacked on coffee we are a fabulously disorganized bunch We seek impact with friends try to surf whenever we can dirty jokes looking out for each other we have eyes and a voice so no surprise when we speak the fuck up We care about shit No sequencers no backing tracks not a DJ group We believe in the gathering power of music Guess you could say we are a motherfucking rock band Born in shadow, made of lions, loud as fuck
