Lions Lyrics

(Yeah, okay)

Hungry is my state of mind
Bad love left me high and dry
World is getting hard to
Lead me to the water
You know I need some

Ah ah would you kill for your own is how I feel in my bones
Hey la la lion's goin' ra ra
And you pray you're not prey every day, every day, yeah
I can't see the world that you want me to see
I won't be the man that you want me to be

Darkness creepin' late at night (okay)
Knows just how to talk to me when I'm tired
Feedin' on my weakness
Plannin' in the season
When I was so young

Would you kill for your own is how I feel in my bones
Hey, la la lion's goin' ra ra
And you pray you're not prey every day
I can't see the world that you want me to see
I won't be the man that you want me to be

I won't let the devil get over
But when the water's boiled up and the pot starts to burn
You start to understand the man
Ooh, yeah
