- Ex Lion Tamer LyricsThere's great danger
For the lonliest ranger of all
No silver bullets
Tonto's split the scene
Next week will solve your problems
But now, fish fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty
Stay glued to your T. V. set
There's great danger
At hand most caped crusader of all
No cloak of justice
Robin's flown the nest
For the lonliest ranger of all
No silver bullets
Tonto's split the scene
Next week will solve your problems
But now, fish fingers all in a line
Stay glued to your T. V. set
There's great danger
At hand most caped crusader of all
No cloak of justice
Robin's flown the nest
