Lyrics Lloyd Cole – To The Lions
Text:
I lost my girl on Monday
Looking for some sympathy
I went to church directly
The lord was not there for me
Didn’t go to work on Tuesday
Got to drinking around noon
I lost my heart to a mean bartender
She knocked me off my stool
Now the world’s spinning round too fast
Lord, won’t you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs is a little push in that direction
I lost my job on Friday
Said a lack of discipline
I went to church directly
Peter said «He is not in»
I hit the bar on Sunday
Looking for some discipline
I sold my soul to the mean bartender
She said I’m born again
Now the world’s spinning round too fast
Lord, won’t you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs a little pushing
If you time it just right
You could send me to the lions tonight
