Walking In the Lion’s Den

Walking in that lion's den

Shakin' the hornet's nest

Lord I'm rattlin', the tiger's cage

And I ain't done nothing wrong

I feel the heat through the door

As I put the key to the lock

Before it swings free

Lord, there's something wrong

She can't be content with serenity

'Cause misery, she loves company

Oh, I'm lucky I don't got stripes on my back

From the tongue lashings I didn't provoke

Lord, I'm tip-toein', 'cross broken glass

I better watch my step, or it could be my last

Lord, I'm walking the lion's den

Shaking the hornet's nest

Lord, I'm rattling the tiger's cage

And I ain't done nothing wrong

Wake up in the morning to more bad news

You're havin' a bad day, I guess I'll have one too

I'm dodging knives on that cutting board

As you drag me across that killing floor

Oh, I'm reachin' for a life-line

Lord, that water keeps risin', It's just a matter of time

Before this anchor drags me to the deep

That's the last that you're ever gonna see of me

Lord, I'm walkin' the lion's den

Shakin' the hornet's nest

Lord, I'm rattlin' the tiger's cage

And I ain't done nothing wrong

I ain't done nothing wrong

Lord, I can't take this much more
