Sleeping With Lions
The 69 Eyes
said you wanted to feel
cold metal and hard steel
but it cuts in too deep
to see you doing your midnight creep
somebody hurts you so you're hurting me
the only way it was meant to be
as the lights of neon slowly dim
I can read in flesh
everywhere you've been
dreaming of silence
of the gentle rain
sleeping with lions
in the temple of pain
said you wanted to steal
a heart of soul and make a deal
with the danger that you feed
don't like the monsters that you keep
somebody hurts you so you're hurting me
the only way it was meant to be
as the lights of neon slowly dim
I can read in flesh everywhere you've been
dreaming of silence
of the gentle rain
sleeping with lions
in the temple of pain.
