Bonnie Prince Billy - The Lion Lair lyrics

i took road and said goodbye

friends go one way i went mine

i got lost then very quickly

started shaking feeling sickly

in the lion lair, in the lion lair

watch your own self and take care

i am outside, almost one

with all the life in the lion lair

all alone and all around

canyon clept above the ground

there was treeless flat around me

and no evil came and found me

in the lion lair, in the lion lair

watch your own self and take care

i am outside, almost one

with all the life in the lion lair

stars came out in midday burning

earth grumbled stones were churning

colors red were rocks and sky

and powered glint infused the eye

had himself in no time

hand on shaft and gripped his ball

wished your mouth would come down on it

feel your lips sink warm upon it

in the lion lair, in the lion lair

watch your own self and take care

i am outside, almost one

with all the life in the lion lair

beast and bird they called me kin

bathed me and they tucked me in

laid down on the forest ground

stars above they shon on down

in the lion lair, in the lion lair

watch your own self and take care

i am outside, almost one

with all the life in the lion lair

in the lion lair, in the lion lair

watch your own self and take care

i am outside, almost one

with all the life in the lion lair
