Lion Lyrics
I was once a lion
A monster in Orion
Alas, the humans came
Now I'm handled with a chain
Hear the children holler
A serpent for a collar
I will get no rest
In this haunted wilderness
And the crowd comes and goes
To what end, no one knows
Critics ride the cannon
The bankers bring the famine
There will always be
A little crumb for you and me
Hear the serpent holler
A child for a dollar
I will get no rest
In this mirrored wilderness
And the crowd comes and goes
To what end no one knows
Like the ships on the wind
Like the dust in the medicine(?)
Call him ?? ??
I know all his secrets
He is such a fool
He drowned his love in a swimming pool
Hear the trainer holler
A serpent for a collar
He hates it when I roar
And when he's drunk he hates it more
And the crowd comes and goes
To what end no one knows
Like the ships on the wind
Like the dust in the medicine(?)
A monster in Orion
Alas, the humans came
Now I'm handled with a chain
A serpent for a collar
I will get no rest
In this haunted wilderness
To what end, no one knows
The bankers bring the famine
There will always be
A little crumb for you and me
A child for a dollar
I will get no rest
In this mirrored wilderness
To what end no one knows
Like the ships on the wind
Like the dust in the medicine(?)
I know all his secrets
He is such a fool
He drowned his love in a swimming pool
A serpent for a collar
He hates it when I roar
And when he's drunk he hates it more
To what end no one knows
Like the ships on the wind
Like the dust in the medicine(?)
