Under Cover of Darkness - Living Colour, Vernon Reid, Corey Glover

Touch without seeing love with no feeling

Stealing a moment… under cover of darkness

I’d like to kiss you and let my lips caress you

Sending sparks of passion up your spine

But doing so means saying no

And even the thought would be a crime

I’d like to touch your skin even if it is a sin

I’d rather burn than not touch you

I might just go mad thinking what I might have had

All the things I’d like to do

Safer seduction isn’t what it is

Sexuality isn’t what it appears to be

It’s what you think you see

I want to make you hot

Touch that spot and send you on a trip

But my consequence is abstinence

And Lord knows I just can’t slip

I want to feel you

The real you

Not the projection that you let me see

The safest sex is when it’s not skin to skin

It’s very simple let your mind go free

Safer seduction isn’t what it is

Sexuality isn’t what it appears to be

It’s what you think you see

To do or not to do that is the question

Over and over you’re prone to suggestion

Some sense is when I can’t condone

The fact that you want to make your bed my home

Let’s say I take this man as my lover

And he swears that there will never be another

But really he doesn’t give a damn about safe sex

And with all these other girls he has a taste test

Well the thrill doesn’t outweigh the consequences

Therefore I am using my common senses

To let you know I adore you

But I’m afraid I’m not the one for you

Safer seduction isn’t what it is

Sexuality isn’t what it appears to be

It’s what you think you see
