Lions

She rises slowly from the shadows
With cat's eye smiling like the gallows

She waits for me outside
And follows with no sound
As destiny comes
Hot breath on the window
Suddenly I know when to run

Just get me out of here I bite my tongue
The night is closing in on everyone
I see the bottom of an empty gun
No sleep or safety when the lion comes

She moves in silence from the window
Hunter and pray, the game, don't I know

Hearts beating faster like a pounding drum
Thinking of all the faces I've become
The night's a blanket for the coming sun
No sleep or safety when the lion comes

Keep chasing me down and
Yeah she found me
Run away
Keep chasing me down and
Yeah she found me
Where I lay
