Lion

[Verse 1] I was once a lion, a monster in Orion Alas the humans came, now i'm handled with a chain Hear the children holler, a serpent for a collar I will get no rest, in this haunted wilderness [Chorus 1] And the crowd come close To what end? No one knows [Verse 2] The critics write the canon The bankers bring the famine There will always be A little crumb for you and me Hear the serpent holler, a child for a dollar I will get no rest, in this mirrored wilderness [Chorus 2] And the crowd comes close To what end? No one knows Like the ships on the wind Like the dust in the medicine [Verse 3] Call him Narcissus, I know all his secrets He is such a fool He drowned his love in a swimming pool Hear the train I'll holler A serpent for a dollar He hates it when I roam And when he's drunk he hates it more [Chorus 3] And the crowd comes close To what end? No one knows Like the ships on the wind Like the dust in the medicine
