Lion’s Share Lyrics by Wild Beasts

Smother

2011

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 or do I 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
Oh, oh, oh, 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?
Boy, what you running from?
Boy?
'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
Boy, what you running from?
Boy?
Boy, what you running from?
Boy?
'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
