Don-‘t Tease The Lion
It-‘s A Crying Shame How I Carry Myself,
It-‘s A Crying, Crying Shame.
It-‘s A God Damn Miracle My Heart Still Pumps,
Trying To Float, With A Ball And Chain.
So I Drown, I Cough, My Oxygen-‘s Cut Off.
I Think Of All, The Good, I-‘d Do If I Could.
But I Can-‘t Go On-Â…
It-‘s A Joke In The Ballroom When The Lights Go Out.
It-‘s A Laugh, For The King And Queen.
It-‘s A Stranger-‘s Touch To Make You Feel Safe,
For Your Life, You Held On To Me.
And We Loved, Like Lovers, Never Knowing Each Other.
Until The Lights, Turned On, And What I Thought Was Wrong.
Because I Can-‘t Go On-Â…
If Abbey Won-‘t Hold Me Tight.
Don-‘t Tease The Lion.
For God-‘s Sake It,
Won-‘t Give Up Trying,
Until Your Naked.
I Believe, I Believe, I Believe,
There-‘s A Reason To Run, A Reason To Give In.
I Believe, I Believe, I Believe,
You Can Give To Me, What You Give To Him.
It-‘s Seven Empty Acres To Harvest Your Dreams,
Seven Acres Where The Sun Won-‘t Shine.
It-‘s The Grass That Grows And It Brushes Your Feet,
Growing Taller All The Time.
I Lose Track, Of My Mind, While My Body Falls Behind.
Reminding Me, Of When, A Rooster Chased The Hen.
But I Can-‘t Go On-Â…
If Abbey Won-‘t Hold Me Tight.
Don-‘t Tease The Lion.
For God-‘s Sake It,
Won-‘t Give Up Trying,
Until Your Naked.
I Believe, I Believe, I Believe,
There-‘s A Reason To Run, A Reason To Give In.
I Believe, I Believe, I Believe,
You Can Give To Me, What You Give To Him.
It-‘s My Five-Dollar Tie And My Funeral Shoes,
I Put Them On, To Make Me Feel Alive.
It-‘s An Easier Day When You Look Like A Fool,
There-‘s Nothing From This World Left To Hide.
So I Speak, My Mind, Get Punched And They Spit In My Eye.
I Remember When, She-‘d Say, Tomorrows Another Day.
But I Can-‘t Go On
