20170705 - Lions and Tigers and Bears or Me

from The Song Diary II by Paleo

/

lyrics

Lions and tigers and bears, or me?
I know which one scares me most:
the final frontier
in my bathroom mirror,
endlessly unknown
Endlessly unknown.

And were I moved to call your priest
confess him all I done –
with his too little cross
for to hold all the lost –
the man in the black would run.
The man in the black would run.

I just want to close my eyes now.
I’m tired of staring this disguise down.
But I know I’m all out of time outs.
I just want to close my eyes now.

Lions and tigers and bears, or me?
I know which one scares me worst
There are more doors in the mind
than stars in the sky.
Who knows which we’ll get to first?
Who knows which we’ll get to first?

And were I brave and I dialed you up,
my tail between my legs,
howling, “I was a beast!”
(to say the least)
would you finally let me pay?
Would you finally let me pay?

I just want to close my eyes now.
I’m tired of staring this disguise down.
But I know I’m all out of time outs.
I just want to close my eyes now.
