Lions Lyrics

VERSE I: 

WE WERE LOVERS IN A LAND FAR AWAY WHERE WE FOUGHT NO WARS AND WE LIVED
IN CAVES, 

THEN I MET YOU IN THE MIDDLE AGES, YOU SAID I WAS GREATER THAN
CHARLEMAGNE, 

AND IN ROME, OH, HOW WOULD I KNOW, I WOULD BE PAINTING FACES WHILE YOU
SAT ON THE THRONE, 

BUT I COULDN'T KEEP MY HANDS TO MYSELF, SO THEY THREW ME TO THE LIONS
WHILE YOU CRIED OUT FOR HELP,
CHORUS I:

BUT I'M RUNNING, RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND,

RUNNING FROM THE LIONS, LIONS GONNA TEACH ME WHAT I'M FIGHTING FOR, 

COMING, COMING ‘ROUND THE MOUNTAIN, RUNNING FROM THE SIRENS,

SIRENS SAY THAT THEY'RE GONNA TAKE MY SOUL, 

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THE KIND OF GIRL THAT COULD SAVE ME FROM THE
NIGHT, 

BUT THEN I CAME TO KNOW YOU AND I GAVE YOU MY WORLD,

I GUESS, WE FOUND LOVE AT THE WRONG TIME,
VERSE II:

STAR-CROSSED, GAZING AT THE SKIES, IN DISGUISE, 

NOTHING MORE DANGEROUS THAN MEN WITH GUNS BELIEVING LIES, 

SENT TO WAR BUT WHICH SIDE ARE WE ON AND WHAT THE f*ck IS THIS RED BAND
ON MY ARM? 

NO I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WHEN VICTORIA RULED OR PHARAOH'S USED SLAVES TO
BUILD THEIR RUINS, 

BUT I, I DO NOW, AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED, NOTHING HAS CHANGED...
CHORUS II:

I'M RUNNING, RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND,

RUNNING FROM THE LIONS, LIONS GONNA TEACH ME WHAT I'M FIGHTING FOR, 

COMING, COMING ‘ROUND THE MOUNTAINS, RUNNING FROM THE SIRENS,

SIRENS SAID THAT THEY'RE GONNA TAKE MY SOUL, 

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THE KIND OF GIRL THAT COULD SAVE ME FROM THE NIGHT, 

BUT THEN I CAME TO KNOW YOU AND I GAVE YOU MY WORLD,

I GUESS THAT WE FOUND LOVE AT THE WRONG TIME
(CONTINUED
...)
BRIDGE:

BUT THERE'S NO WRONG TIME, THIS WORLD'S A CRAZY PLACE,

WE COULD SPEND A THOUSAND YEARS AND NOTHING WOULD CHANGE, 

SO CAN I TAKE YOU HOME? CAN WE BUILD A HOME? 

THERE'S ALWAYS ATROCITIES, BUT IT'S EASIER TO SMILE WHEN YOU'RE NEXT TO ME..
CHORUS III:

EVEN WHEN I'M RUNNING, RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND,

RUNNING FROM THE LIONS, LIONS GONNA TEACH ME WHAT I'M FIGHTING FOR, 

COMING, COMING ‘ROUND THE MOUNTAINS, RUNNING FROM THE SIRENS, 

SIRENS SAY THAT THEY'RE GONNA TAKE MY SOUL, 

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THE KIND OF GIRL THAT COULD SAVE ME FROM THE
NIGHT, 

BUT THEN I CAME TO KNOW YOU AND I GAVE YOU MY WORLD,

I GUESS THAT WE FOUND LOVE AT THE WRONG TIME,


I'M RUNNING, RUNNING THROUGH MY MIND,

RUNNING FROM THE LIONS, LIONS GONNA TEACH ME WHAT I'M FIGHTING FOR, 

COMING ‘ROUND THE MOUNTAINS, RUNNING FROM THE SIRENS, 

SIRENS SAY THAT THEY'RE GONNA TAKE MY SOUL, 

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THE KIND OF GIRL THAT COULD SAVE ME FROM THE
NIGHT, 

BUT THEN I CAME TO KNOW YOU AND I GAVE YOU MY WORLD,

I GUESS WE FOUND LOVE AT THE WRONG TIME
