To the Lions

Oh, my love

Sympathy's in short supply

There's simply not enough

Lord, God above

Scratching at the bones

To find my diamond in the rough

Girl, I want you to care

But you fed me to the lions

You fed me to the lions

Oh, I'm black and blue

You've abandoned me

To the lions

Oh, my love

So short the claws that scratched

At our disintegrating trust

Lord God above

With heavy head between my hands

Our diamonds turn to dust

Girl, I want you to care

But you fed me to the lions

You fed me to the lions

Oh, what can I do?

You've abandoned me

To the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions

Bridge (x3)

I'm calling a ceasefire

I'm begging you please sign

My petition for release

Girl, I want you to care

But you fed me to the lions

You fed me to the lions

Oh, what can I do?

You've abandoned me to…

Girl, I'd go anywhere

But you're casting me in irons

You're casting me in irons

Oh, I'm black and blue

You've abandoned me

To the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions
