Ride the Lion Lyrics

Bruises decorate your heels

But you’ve gained your life

A gun wielding maniac

Drew it in drunken surprise

This is not a metaphor

It’s just a really bad night

Jumping down from that

Second story window at night, It was so high

She kissed you on your mouth

As you lay down on that bed

Your eyes were burning

With a fire she is eager to forget

This is not a metaphor

It’s just a really fucked up night

Trapped in corner

Between a choice of wrong or right, oh why?

Baby, baby, don’t forget

There’s crawling maggots in your mouth

Weirdos knocking on your door on the road to die

Open your eyes and ride the Lion

And she weighs on your mind

Bent and broken with lies

Calling the shadow the sun

Bent and broken with lies

Crawling on the walls

Like flies with compound eyes

Stealing all available light from our lives

Baby, baby, don’t forget

There’s crawling maggots in your mouth

Weirdos knocking on your door on the road to die

Open your eyes and ride the Lion
