The Felice Brothers - 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 hornet wilderness AND THE CROWD COMES AND GOES TO WHAT END, NO ONE KNOWS Critics might be caning The bankers bring their family There will always be A little crumb for you and me Me and the serpent crawler 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 meadow, sand Tour in my sickness I know all your 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 hits 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 meadow, sand
