Lions Lyrics by Tristen

Sneaker Waves

2017

[Verse 1]
Lions were loose
It was my job to tame them
To make them my friends
To be the entertainment
But my songs did not work on them
It just drew a great crowd
To champion the future dead
They rescue kittens instead
[Chorus]
I'm on that sinking ship
And I can't stop crying
To bail out the water
My tears are contributing
And the waves are my backing track
And the moon is my ambience
And the wind is a song that would carry me through
[Verse 2]
So I sang the boys a slow one
And I asked them to follow me
To the calm of the ocean
To the sand beds of the sea
Now lions were sleeping
And I was creeping away
When a broken ship appeared
Quite unfit to sail
Still I sailed out to sea
Just before the rains came
Pouring down on me
Sabotage from the skies
[Chorus]
I'm on that sinking ship
And I can't stop crying
To bail out the water
My tears are contributing
And the waves are my backing track
And the moon is my ambience
And the wind is a song that would carry me through
And the waves are my backing track
And the moon is my ambience
And the wind is a song that would carry me through
And the waves are my backing track
And the moon is my ambience
And the wind is a song that would carry me through
[Outro]
Where my heart is the only beat
And my soul is soloing
Where my heart is the only beat
And my soul is soloing
Where my heart is the only beat
And my soul is soloing
Where my heart is the only beat
And my soul is soloing
