DIRE STRAITS

DIRE STRAITS - Lions lyrics

rate me

Red sun go down way over dirty town<br>Starling are sweeping around crazy shoals<br>A girl is there high heeling across the square<br>Wind blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles<br>Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light<br>She looks around to find a face she can like.<br><br>Church bell clinging on trying to get a crowd for evensong<br>Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays<br>They're all in the station praying for trains<br>Cogregations late again<br>It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days<br>Drunk old soldier he gives her a fright<br>He's crazy lion howling for a fight.<br><br>Strap hanging gunshot sound<br>Doors slamming on the overground<br>Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone<br>Her evening paper is horror torn<br>But there's hope later for capricorns<br>Her lucky stars give her just enough to get home<br>Then she's reading about a swing to the right<br>But she's thinking about a stranger in the night<br>I'm thinking about the lions tonight<br>What happened to the lions.
