about

“A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep.”

― George R.R. Martin

---------------------------------------------------------------------

lyrics

I should have looked the other way
When I first laid my eyes upon you
That Hermosa day

I thought I knew you so well
That I could tell the difference
Between the truth you say
And lies you tell

Now you hold me close at night
But I still think you might
Just want to feed me to the lions

But I guess that's alright
Without darkness there's no light
There's no laughing without crying
And there's no living without dying

Mother said that there's three types
The ones you love and those you like
Then there's the ones that need deciding

With me and you the third is true
I can't tell if I like you
Or if I just love the ride were riding

Now you hold me close at night
But I still think you might
Just want to feed me to the lions

You lift me up when all is well
But if i slipped and fell
You'd leave me right where I was lying
I'd dust myself off and keep on trying

Lions in the jungle
Lions on the street
Lions in the churches
Praying on the freshest meat

One soft tender place
And one sharp set of teeth
Lions in between your love and me

I should have ran the other way
I'm afraid that it's too late
You gave me every reason on this earth to walk away
You caused me every ounce of pain

Now you hold me close at night
But I still think you might
Just want to feed me to the lions
