Lion's Teeth |
The king of the jungle |
Was asleep in his car |
When your chances fall in your lap like that |
You’ve got to recognize them for what they really are |
Nobody in this house |
Wants to own up to the truth |
I crawl in shotgun and reach into his mouth |
And grab hold of one long, sharp tooth |
And hold on For dear life, I hold on Well, of course he wakes up His paw hits the horn |
I am going to regret |
The day that I was born |
And then Mom rushes out to the driveway |
My sister too |
Everyone’s screaming |
I am dreaming of you |
I hold on For dear life, I hold on And my arms get sore |
And my palms start to sweat |
And the tears roll down my face |
'Till my cheeks are hot and red and soaking wet |
In come the cops |
They blowtorch the doors |
I start wailing |
The lion roars |
There’s no good way to end this |
Anyone can see |
There’s this great big you |
And little old me And we hold on For dear life, we hold on We hold on |
