Lion Tamer Lyrics

Took a wild beast and turned him into my golden boy

Gold links around my neck, his new chew toy

Never stopped running, now he sits at my feet

Groomed myself a guard cat

I wash him, rinse, repeat

Slip on my white gloves

Top hat's my crown

Give 'em what they love

In the crowd is the whole town

She's the master of the ring

Who could blame 'er?

Do you hear the way she sings?

She's a lion tamer

When we walk out take the breath right out of their mouths

And baby I have no doubt

That he will make me proud

The lights come down fire from out his lungs he blows

Tells you one thing you gotta know

Me and my boy are the show

Use no whips or chains, that's inhumane

All I did was gently stroke that long, thick mane

Hear him roar but for me he purrs

A male down on all fours is the way that I prefer

Step into the dirt

Only if you dare

Better watch me first

What I mean is you should stare

She's a lion tamer

Beautiful disaster

Won't accept failure

She's the ringmaster

And at the end of the night

You can feel so alone

Applause in your ears echo

I'll take a seat in the top row

I look down at my boy

His eyes are closed

He strikes a pose

Don't scream and cry wishing on our demise

I'll tell you why that's not wise

It helps our eyes train in on the prize

You can't touch me cause you know who's standing guard

Gotta protect this heart

We've worked so damn hard

So when we walk out take the breath right out of your mouth

Even better when it gets loud

He always makes me proud

The lights come down fire from out his lungs he blows

Tells you the only thing you gotta know

Me and my boy are the show
