I heard you saying that you woke up with a laugh Those kinds of dreams must be nice to have I wake up with a scream A nightmare trumps a dream My bed is wet with sweat and smelling sour Yours is warm and sweet, a bed of flowers What you don't understand, it seems A nightmare trumps a dream I don't want to tell you Anything I got to say Let the lyin' lion lay Keep it asleep until it's gone Let it rot into a seething heap of bones Let it die it's dying day Let the lyin' lion lay I don't want to tell you That there's lightning in my mind I don't want to tell you If I do, you'll be struck blind Let the lyin' lion lay Let the lyin' lion lay Let it die it's dyin' day Let the lyin' lion lay Eyes that are shut Eyes that are still Eyes for the juggular Eyes for the kill If you pry you'd better pray Let the lyin' lion lay I don't want to tell you We will never be the same I don't want to tell you Even though you're not to blame Let the lyin' lion lay Let the lyin' lion lay Let it die it's dyin' day Let the lyin' lion lay
