Lyrics
I was a heartbeat on the danger side
I was living on the risky side, embracing excitement and uncertainty.
Just had to see what it all was like
I felt compelled to experience everything that life had to offer.
Put your nose in that
Engage deeply in that experience.
Oh oh yeah
An expression of excitement or realization.
Although you try to sidestep
Despite attempting to avoid it.
Merchants of soul don't let
People deeply connected to their artistic and emotional sides are not easily deterred.
Hey what you doing on the danger side
Questioning someone's presence in a risky or adventurous situation.
Yes you're looking for us we know that's right
Acknowledging that the person is seeking or looking for a certain experience.
That way you move it's all an act
The way the person behaves is a performance, possibly not genuine.
So get in
Encouraging the person to join in the experience.
We know you want to give in
Acknowledging the desire to be part of the experience.
And of course we'll fix you up exact
Assuring that they will cater to the person's needs precisely.
We'll mail you back
Committing to respond or return communication.
Mm hmmm!
An expression of agreement or affirmation.
Mixed up and lonely on the danger side
Feeling confused and alone in a risky situation.
Ralph Reed was driving
A reference to someone named Ralph Reed driving, possibly indicating a companion or an event.
Said he wants to go all night
Expressing a desire to continue the risky experience throughout the night.
I made him wait, took my time to decide
Taking time to make a thoughtful decision before committing to the experience.
To get wise
Choosing to become knowledgeable or experienced.
The fiends are fiendin' outside
People with intense cravings are waiting outside.
Merchants of soul so unkind
Those deeply connected to their emotional side may be harsh or unkind.
Oh yeah
Confirming that those connected to their emotional side do not care or are indifferent.
Merchants of soul they don't mind
They are willing to take your emotional essence, while asserting the need to preserve their own.
They'll take your soul I need mine
Asserting a personal need to protect one's emotional well-being.
