Lyrics

lions were loose
it was my job to tame them
to make them my friend
to be the entertainment
 
but my songs did not work on them
it just drew a great crowd
to champion the future dead
they rescue kittens instead
 
i'm on that sinking ship
and i can’t stop crying
to bail out the water
my tears are contributing
 
and the waves are my backing track
and the moon is my ambience
and the wind is a song that will carry me through
 
so i sang the boys a slow one
and i asked them to follow me
to the calm of the ocean
to the sand beds of the sea
 
now lions were sleeping
and I was creeping away
when a broken ship appeared
quite unfit to sail
 
still I sailed out to sea
just before the rains came
pouring down on me
sabotage from the sky
 
i'm on that sinking ship
and I can’t stop crying
to bail out the water
my tears are contributing
 
and the waves were my backing track
and the moon is my ambience
and the wind was a song that would carry me through
where my heart is the only beat
and my soul is soloing
