lyrics

Did you see the crowd today, it was giant
They’re waiting outside for him now
Coulda filled a house today without trying
Tell them he’s coming right out
Did you see the way he whipped him today
His eyes were Medusa, that lion was grey
And I guess that’s all that there is to say
Now where’s he gone off to, these people won’t stay

And somewhere that lion tamer
He knows there’s no fear greater
Than telling the world that lion’s declawed
Than telling the world that they’ve got it all wrong
Than knowing his life would be riddled with shame
Than being a beast that’s trapped in a cage

Get some sleep, we’ve got a show in the morning
Tell me is your back okay
I know I got you with the stool without warning
I shouldn’t have got in your way
When you roar at me, I know it’s not you
They give you poison and deprive you of food
So that you’ll do just what they want you to do
I swear, I promise, I’ll get you out soon

And somewhere that lion tamer
He knows there’s no fear greater
Than telling the world that lion’s declawed
Than telling the world that they’ve got it all wrong
Than knowing his life would be riddled with shame
Than being a beast that’s trapped in a cage

I want to open the cages
I want to let you go raging on
And bite off the hand that forced you this life
And bite of the hand that fed you the knife
But all I know is how to go on
Being afraid and praying that I’m wrong
