Gotta Be Safe (Tig Wired)

Gotta Be Safe
I hear the snap of my harness
I feel the strike on the steel
I'm trustin’ you with my tomorrows
Now tell me how does that feel
I’m going down in a heartbeat
Into the belly of this place
I wear my mask real tight
I’m playin’ it safe
I work with dangerous people,
I deal with dangerous minds
And I don’t take nothin’ for granted
I live in dangerous times.
Now I’ve worked this job by the numbers
So I don’t get buried without a trace
You’ve asked me 20 questions
Now I’m asking you,
Am I gonna be safe?
I don’t know where destiny
Has me headed for
What did you expect from me,
I’m playin’ it safe
That’s still my position
Ain’t lettin’ go of my superstition
I don’t wanna slip don’t wanna argue my case
I’m gonna do everything that it takes to bring it in safe
(I said to myself)
I gotta be safe
(Such a fine request)
Oh, bring it in safe
(I’m watchin’ my back)
I need to be safe
(checkin’ every last crack)
I used to take all the chances
I was a hot headed do what I can
I used to work to hurt
I spread an awful lotta dirt
I believed I really was superman
But now I’ve got a new disposition
I bought in to the old school plan
I'm playin’ hide and seek
For 2K a week
Or I’ll be takin’ home a nuclear tan
I got a woman who loves me
She knows the trials I face
And I know the best time to please her
Is when she’s feelin real safe
(Listen)
Pack it up tighten it down
You pick it up
Put it back where you found it.
I don’t need any grief
From some grunt on the street
Who don’t like the way that I wound it
(No)
I don’t know where destiny
Has me headed for
What did you expect from me,
I’m playin it safe that’s still my position
Hate lettin’ go of my superstition
I don’t wanna slip don’t wanna argue my case
I’m gonna do everything that it takes to bring it in safe
(Lay your bets)
I gotta be safe
(I ain’t done yet)
Oh, bring it in safe
(I’m doing my best)
I need to be safe
(Baby get dressed)
Every night and everyday
(It’s a matter of trust)
Yah, I’ll take It Out safe
(a serious rush)
I’m askin if it’s safe
(From the demons I see)
I love the smile on your face
(It’s killin me)
