Lyrics Wild Beasts – Lion’s Share

Text:

I find you hidden there a veiled creature of the deep,
Waifish as a widow and without sufficient sleep,
Oh what am I supposed to think?
Do I pull you out of let you sink?

I wait until you’re woozy, I lay low until you’re lame,
I take you in my mouth like a lion takes his game,
I love you all the more for every fault,
They’re how I’d gotten in, they’re how I cracked the vault

‘Cause it’s a terrible scare,
But that’s why the dark is there,
So you don’t have to see what you can’t bear,
The lion’s share

Lion’s share,
I took the lion’s share,
Not ’cause I didn’t care,
Just ’cause I knew it was there

Boy what you running from?… Boy?
