Wondering Where the Lions Are
Sun's up, a-ah, looks okay
The world survives into another day
I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
Had another dream about lions at the door
Wasn't half as frightening as they were before
I'm thinking about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
Walls, the windows, trees, waves coming through
You be in me, and I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a...a hold on me
Yeah, up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Down in the valley wherе the river used to bе
All of eternity the XTC running hard through me
I'm wondering where the lions are, (wondering where the lions are)
I'm wondering where the lions are, (wondering where the lions are)
I am wondering, I am wondering
Huge, orange, flying boat rises off the surface of the lake
Thousand year old crazy birds doing the double take
Sailing for eternity, and I'm sitting in the right middle of this XTC
Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun
Polished and precise, like the brains behind the guns
Should be shooting for eternity
Freighters nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days we're going to sail away, sail into eternity
Some kind of XTC got a...a hold on me
And I'm wondering where the lions are, (wondering where the lions are)
I'm wondering where the lions are, (wondering where the lions are)
I'm wondering, I am wondering
I'm wondering where the lions are, (wondering where the lions are)
I'm wondering, I am wondering
Sun's up - yeah, it looks okay
Yeah, it looks okay
