Lions

Written by: r. robinson & c. robinson

You come in the room and you close the door
And you let me see what you're really here for
Then you lay me down in an unmade bed
And you show me things that aren't easily said
Working in circles and twisting away
Making it hard to breathe
Touching my skin
I don't want it to end
I'm gone and you can't catch me

Chorus:
There's no use lying
Because i've heard all your bullshit before
You've said your old line for the very last time
Don't want you round my backdoor

She says my name and it takes me away
A kiss on my brow and i'm here to stay
When the clock chimes twelve
And we're down on the floor
She tells me things i've never heard before
Working in circles and twisting away
Making it hard to breathe
Touching my skin
I don't want it to end
I'm gone and you can't catch me

Chorus

Your eyes they look like two bullet holes
And you don't ever say maybe
You knock me out with the way you talk
I like the way you say "baby"
You want a mouthful of scorpio
Yeah, but my poison be tasty
You bite my finger and say 'control'
You won't let me be lazy

Chorus:
Night and day like a mule i'm kickin'
Girl you gonna catch a lickin'

Fire out of the mouths of babes
Got you actin' so crazy
Doorknob queen of the underage
Got me rantin' and ravin'
See the bruise you left on my page
Now the game's getting tricky
Left alone in my own parade
While the bomb just keeps tickin'

Chorus

Do you want to do it all with me
Do you want to scream and bleed for me
You can have all of me, all of me
Your teeth taste just like razorblades
Yeah you got my tongue ready
You fill me up with your politics
And leave me so heavy

So you found yourself a killer
The one with blue eyes
I guess the bloodstains on the blanket don't lie
Well i guess i saw it comin'
Like a boy i just kept runnin'
But through this crime i have survived

Chorus:
They're gonna hang you from the cypress tree
The crowd gonna cheer when they see you swing
Yeah they're gonna hang you from the cypress tree
Tell me now do you believe?

Glory hallelujah
I raise my glass up to you
And i bow my head with utmost respect
But i think it's only fair to warn you
That there's a storm that's coming up on you
And like the wind and the rain
My words are direct

Chorus

It's a funny word 'friends'
You get beginnings and you got ends
I guess i'll see you when we're ashes again

Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile

Do you remember when it started
You had a dream
Now you never talk about it
Your fame & riches were everything
No matter what the cost
Now you wish you hadn't blown it

Well lay it all on me
Lay it all on me

Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile

I came to see how you were doing
It's been awhile
Lookin back over your shoulder
You were restless and you were wild
Always running away
Once was young now is older

Lay it all on me, lay it all on me

Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest a while

So come on off of your rooftop
Come on down to the street
I've got something to tell you
You're secret i will keep
Tell me why have you been crying
Why won't you look me in the eye
I'm just trying to help you
I just need to know why
Please won't you let me try

Chorus:
Be my secret, be my joy
Be a miracle to me
Be my lover, be my friend
Be a miracle to me

I want to sleep in your moonglow
In my mind you're smile i keep
Head over heels i go
Like a dream from a peaceful sleep
This time i know i'm in deep

Chorus

Written by: r. robinson & c. robinson

Every time i fall
I bring you along
Because i need you there
Every time i leave
For my selfish things
I know i'm wrong

No matter what i want to believe
Nothing like this comes easily

Chorus:
I love you, yes i love you
Even though i know i should stay away
Because i hate you, yes i hate you
Even though it looks like i'm going to stay
And i think that i'm losing my mind

My time in the dark
Was tearing me apart
And that's not okay
A man of blood and bones
Alone on his throne
Could walk away
Oh how your web has been spun
And i'm out of my mind
And it ain't no fun

Written by: r. robinson & c. robinson

Now i'm swimming in the greasy grass river
On my way to the black pearl sea
Yeah i'm floating down the greasy grass river
Come one child come with me
Life is so easy on greasy grass river
Just take my hand and we can pretend to be free
You wanna be
Free
Come on with me

Take me down to the greasy grass river
Wash my hands where the water is clean
Lay me down by the greasy grass river
And unfold my mystery
The greasy grass river has water that whispers
Let's listen closely while
She says she wants to be free
You wanna be
Free
You know what i mean?

Outro:
I'm out of my pocket and i'm out on my mind
I'm out of my pocket and i'm out on my mind
I'm out of my pocket and i'm out on my mind
I'm out of my pocket and i'm out on my mind
