Red sun go down way over dirty town Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals Yes and a girl is there high heeling across the square Wind it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light She looks around to find a face she can like. Church bell clinging on just a trying to get a crowd for Evensong Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays They're all in the station praying for trains Congregation late again It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days Drunk old soldier he give her a fright He's a crazy lion he's a-howling for a fight Strap hanging gunshot sound Doors slamming on the overground Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone Her evening paper is horror torn But there's hope later for Capricorns Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home Then she's reading about a swing to the right But she's a-thinking about a stranger in the night I'm thinking about the lions Thinking about the lions What happened to the lions tonight. Tonight tonight Thinking about the lions

Hungry is my state of mind Bad love left me high and dry World is getting hotter Lead me to the water You know I need some Ah ah would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be Darkness creeping late at night Knows just how to talk to me when I'm tired Feeding on my weakness Planted in the season when I was so young Would you kill for your own that's how I feel in my bones Aye la la lions going rah rah And you pray you're not prey Everyday, everyday yeah I can't see the world that you want me to see I won't be the man that you want me to be I won't let the devil get over But when the water's boiled up and the pot starts to burn You start to understand the man Oooh, yeah
