Lloyd Cole - To The Lions lyrics

looking for some sympathy

i went to church directly

the lord was not there for me

didn't go to work on tuesday

got to drinking around noon

i lost my heart to a mean bartender

she knocked me off my stool

now the world's spinning round too fast lord

won't you let me off on the corner

you know a man could take to sinning

all he needs's a little push in that direction

i lost my job on friday

said a lack of discipline

i went to church directly

peter said he was not in

i hit the bar on sunday

looking for some discipline

i sold my soul to the mean bartender

she said i'm born again

now the world's spinning round too fast lord

won't you let me off on the corner

you know a man could take to sinning

all he needs's a little pushing

you time it just right

you could send me to the lions tonight
