about

I wrote this while playing in a country band and observing the mating rituals of the line-dancing boot scooters. I suppose I should be ashamed of myself.

lyrics

Honey Is It Safe?
© 1994 Mark Nelson


Well I just came in here because there's nothing on TV,
And I keep staring at my finger, where her ring used to be.
I could not believe my luck, when you sat down and said "hello,"
And now it's getting late, and there's just one thing I must know.

Chorus:
Honey is it safe to go home with you tonight?
I wonder, should we make love, or should we say goodnight?
Now I'm not afraid of loving you, but I'm afraid of what that love might do
Honey is it safe to go home with you tonight?

Now you might be a fugitive from some Arab mob ,
Or a corporate attorney working on a blackmail job;
A heavy-metal Satanist trying to pull a voodoo hex,
Hell, after all I've seen on Oprah, I don't even know your sex.

Well I hope you don't mind, if I act a little shy,
But the rules just keep on changing no matter how hard I try.
I'll admit that I am flattered by what you'd like to do with me.
So won’t you please fill out this questionnaire about your sexual history?
