Got a message this morning
And the message was clear
She's changing planes in New Orleans
Moving back to this hemisphere
She got too lonely in Rio
Going out of her mind
Hard to keep her profile down
With a face so well defined
Now she swears it's behind her
All the smugglers schemes
How could such a nightmare
Come out of such a beautiful dream
Who would think you'd get lonely
In a town that knows no shame
Where the biggest attraction
Is playing dangerous games
Playing dangerous games
Playing
Started out in Vallarta
On just a innocent fling
She took it back to Newport Beach
And turned it into a diamond ring
But one thing led to another
She got caught up in a tide
She was the queen of the social scene
With all the jokers by her side
Now she swears it's behind her
All the smugglers schemes
How could such a nightmare
Come from such a beautiful dream
Who would think you'd get lonely
In a town that has no shame
Where the biggest attraction
Is learning how to play a dangerous game
Your gonna play the smugglers game
That's how you're gonna get your fame
A South American sailor
Who wore the naval tattoo
Took her so much higher than
Any man she ever knew
In all the capital cities
He's known by numerous names
When the heat came down on the underground
His name was already changed
So now she swears it's behind her
All the smugglers schemes
How could she find a nightmare
Hidden underneath a beautiful dream
Who would think you'd get lonely
In a town that knows no shame
Where the biggest attraction
Is playing dangerous games
Playing dangerous games
Dangerous games
In the festival season
Right in the middle of town
Man was there with an icy stare
To make sure that the deal went down
And just as quick as it started
It was over and done
The icy stare turned into a flare
On the fire of his gun
But now she swears it's behind her
All the smugglers schemes
She found that there was a nightmare
In all those beautiful dreams
Who would think you'd get lonely
In a town that has no shame
Where the biggest attraction
Is learning how to play the game
Learning how to play the dangerous game
Playing a dangerous game
Now she swears it's behind her
All the smugglers schemes
How could such a nightmare
Come from such a beautiful dream
