Here comes another morning
You've gotta figure out this restlessness soon
It's just a small case of some harmless insomnia
You didn't listen to the warnings
She robbed you in the night
While you stayed awake and watched it happen
Look at your face in the mirror
You thought you were a younger man
Where did she go?
You want her back again
Just when you thought you had the world tamed
Here comes a lion, eyes glowing and she's stalking you
Forgot about the food chain
Or did you think that you were at the top?
Sweet Crystal Eyes, She lies
She never really satisfies you
Poor poor sad little junkie
Thought you really found a love worth fighting for
Here comes another night alone
You wonder how you're gonna do this on your own
You hug your knees in the corner praying for a fix
This cold sweat's making you sick
She's got a lot of tricks
But you need her
You thought you were a stronger man
You try to leave her
But you just keep going back again and again
Just when you thought you had the world tamed
Here comes a lion, eyes glowing and she's stalking you
Forgot about the food chain
Or did you think that you were at the top?
Sweet Crystal Eyes, She lies
She never really satisfies you
Poor poor sad little junkie
Thought you really found a love worth fighting for
Ohhhh...
"Don't listen to them, baby." she says
"I'm all you need in this world."
Here comes a lion, eyes glowing and she's stalking you
Forgot about the food chain
Or did you think that you were at the top?
Sweet Crystal Eyes, She lies
She never really satisfies you
Poor poor sad little junkie
Thought you really found a love worth fighting for
Sweet Crystal Eyes
She'll tie you to your demons
Lock you up and watch you while you scream
She'll blow away your wildest dreams
And then you're never gonna dream again
You'll hear her voice inside your head long after she's gone
So be careful what you live for, baby
'Cause we don't live long
