Lions |
| Red sun going down, way over dirty town |
| Starlings they’re sweeping around, crazy shoals |
| Yes and a girl is there, high heeling across the square |
| The wind, it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles |
| Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light |
| She looks around to find a face she can like |
| Church bell clinging on distant, trying to get a crowd for Evensong |
| Nobody cares to depend upon the chimes it plays |
| They’re all in the station praying for trains |
| Congregation’s late again |
| It’s getting darker all the time, these flagpole days |
| Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright |
| He’s a crazy lion, he’s a-howling for a fight |
| Strap hanging, gunshots sound |
| Doors slamming on the Overground |
| Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone |
| Her evening paper is horror torn |
| But there’s hope for later, Capricorn |
| Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home |
| Then she’ll read about a swing to the right |
| But she’s been thinking about a stranger in the night |
| I’m thinking about the lions |
| Thinking about the lions |
| What happened to the lions |
| Tonight, tonight, tonight |
| Thinking about the lions |
| Thinking about the lions |
