Stampead - Don't Tease The Lion lyrics

rate me

It?s a crying shame how I carry myself,<br />

It?s a crying, crying shame.<br />

It?s a God damn miracle my heart still pumps,<br />

trying to float, with a ball and chain.<br />

So I drown, I cough, my oxygen?s cut off.<br />

I think of all, the good, I?d do if I could.<br />

But I can?t go on?<br />

<br />

It?s a joke in the ballroom when the lights go out.<br />

It?s a laugh, for the king and queen.<br />

It?s a stranger?s touch to make you feel safe,<br />

for your life, you held on to me.<br />

And we loved, like lovers, never knowing each other.<br />

Until the lights, turned on, and what I thought was wrong.<br />

Because I can?t go on?<br />

If Abbey won?t hold me tight.<br />

<br />

Don?t tease the lion.<br />

For God?s sake it,<br />

won?t give up trying,<br />

until your naked.<br />

<br />

I believe, I believe, I believe,<br />

there?s a reason to run, a reason to give in.<br />

I believe, I believe, I believe,<br />

you can give to me, what you give to him.<br />

<br />

It?s seven empty acres to harvest your dreams,<br />

seven acres where the sun won?t shine.<br />

It?s the grass that grows and it brushes your feet,<br />

growing taller all the time.<br />

I lose track, of my mind, while my body falls behind.<br />

Reminding me, of when, a rooster chased the hen.<br />

But I can?t go on?<br />

If Abbey won?t hold me tight.<br />

<br />

Don?t tease the lion.<br />

For God?s sake it,<br />

won?t give up trying,<br />

until your naked.<br />

<br />

I believe, I believe, I believe,<br />

there?s a reason to run, a reason to give in.<br />

I believe, I believe, I believe,<br />

you can give to me, what you give to him.<br />

<br />

It?s my five-dollar tie and my funeral shoes,<br />

I put them on, to make me feel alive.<br />

It?s an easier day when you look like a fool,<br />

there?s nothing from this world left to hide.<br />

So I speak, my mind, get punched and they spit in my eye.<br />

I remember when, she?d say, tomorrows another day.<br />

But I can?t go on?<br />

<br />
