Lion Lion

I heard you saying that you woke up with a laugh
Those kinds of dreams must be nice to have
I wake up with a scream
A nightmare trumps a dream

My bed is wet with sweat and smelling sour
Yours is warm and sweet, a bed of flowers
What you don't understand, it seems
A nightmare trumps a dream

I don't want to tell you
Anything I got to say
Let the lyin' lion lay

Keep it asleep until it's gone
Let it rot into a seething heap of bones
Let it die it's dying day
Let the lyin' lion lay

I don't want to tell you
That there's lightning in my mind
I don't want to tell you
If I do, you'll be struck blind

Let the lyin' lion lay
Let the lyin' lion lay
Let it die it's dyin' day
Let the lyin' lion lay

Eyes that are shut
Eyes that are still
Eyes for the juggular
Eyes for the kill
If you pry you'd better pray
Let the lyin' lion lay

I don't want to tell you
We will never be the same
I don't want to tell you
Even though you're not to blame

Let the lyin' lion lay
Let the lyin' lion lay
Let it die it's dyin' day
Let the lyin' lion lay
