Sleeping Lions

"Alligators in the garden, cubs bug it out like flies
The clouds wont let the sun out, rain wont let me dry inside
Smoke in a round of rifles, shooting them up and you're on your high
You get stuck with the pins and the needles in their sight.
We know, while they're sleeping
Lions dream that you
Can outrun them
Because, while they were sleeping
We were dreaming too
You've outrun them
They bang the fish on the table, brownies in a paper bag
Old green leaves growing on the mantel piece look sad
Vultures dance until they're ready to fly, grabbing at everything they might like
Took a lifetime living in the jungle to find your pride.
We know, while they're sleeping
Lions dream that you
Can outrun them
Because, while they were sleeping
We were dreaming too
You've outrun them
We know, while they're sleeping
Lions dream that you
Can outrun them
Because, while they were sleeping
We were dreaming too
Can outrun them..."
