Juliana Hatfield - My Pet Lion lyrics

There's a moment In everyday Right before It's too late Innocent child Sees the truth But your mother Never knew You snuck downstairs And doused the flames All in vain Can't hold on Gotta let go Can't hold on Gotta let go You know just what you want You want ice cream and bags of chips And chocolate and blood and guts And d** and s** and cigarettes I got tricks To keep me in line Like being good for a wine??? I sit on my hands My heart speeds up So I just do it – huh f**. I can't hold on Gotta let go I can't hold on Gotta let go Make me wild Let me melt Inside a house On stormy seas The roof is leaking Under the waves There is no light And everyone's sleeping I'm so afraid I'm not in control It's out of control Rip me to shreds And spit it out all over the world Make me wild There's a moment In every day Just before It's too late I can't hold on Gotta let go Can't hold on Gotta let go I can't hold on Gotta let go
