The stars ignite as the sun sets
|
And disappears in a river of dancing molten gold
|
In the moon rise the lion steps out tonight
|
|
No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again
|
No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains
|
|
The office walls are closing in
|
As the telex machines perversely sing ignored
|
You're hypnotised and the lion roars within
|
|
No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again
|
No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains
|
Why are we here? Not just to live and breathe
|
I cannot sleep, I need the beast
|
I need some action, I need destruction
|
I'll return to the wild, I'll return to the child I said
|
No sense of emotion adrift in the ocean
|
Here we are knee-deep in stars, knee-deep in stars
|
|
City nights caressed in a shroud
|
All is quiet and the silence is tentatively loud
|
You kiss the streets as you crawl on your hands and feet
|
|
No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again
|
No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains
|
|
Why are we here? Not just to live and breathe
|
I cannot sleep, I need the beast
|
I need some action, I need destruction
|
I'll return to the wild, I'll return to the child I said
|
No sense of emotion adrift in the ocean
|
Here we are knee-deep in stars, knee-deep in stars
|
|
Moving in the darkness
|
Phosphorus eyes, jungle pride
|
A glisten of madness, a wave of sadness
|
The lion never sleeps, he's never at peace
|
He stalks so boldly, so nervous, so coldly
|
Vicious serenity, perverse intensity
|
Head bowed stretched proudly, embrace the earth
|
Same blood, same soul, same breath, same goal
|
|
The office walls are closing in, feel the sensation
|
Telex machines perversely sing raw communication
|
And you're hypnotised, a transformation
|
The lion steps out tonight
|
|
And you kiss the damp streets with ease
|
As you crawl on your hands and feet
|
Naked is the beast and the beast is forever free
|
You are the lion, you are the lion of symmetry
|
Golden warrior savage, savage creature
|
You are the lion, you are the lion of symmetry
|
|
No law, no sin, no rip it up and start again
|
No tears, no pain, no fear, no more chains...
