Lloyd Cole - To The Lions lyrics

I lost my girl on monday Looking for some sympathy I went to church directly The lord was not there for me Didn't go to work on tuesday Got to drinking around noon I lost my heart to a mean bartender She knocked me off my stool Now the world's spinning round too fast lord Won't you let me off on the corner You know a man could take to sinning All he needs's a little push in that direction I lost my job on friday Said a lack of discipline I went to church directly Peter said he was not in I hit the bar on sunday Looking for some discipline I sold my soul to the mean bartender She said i'm born again Now the world's spinning round too fast lord Won't you let me off on the corner You know a man could take to sinning All he needs's a little pushing You time it just right You could send me to the lions tonight
