Lion's share

i find you hidden there a veiled
creature of the deep
waifish as a widow
and without sufficient sleep
oh what am i supposed to think
do i pull you out
or do i let you sink

i wait until you're woozy
i lay low until you're lame
i take you in the mouth
like a lion takes his game
i love you all the more
forever we falt
they're how i'd gotten in
they're how i cracked the vault

'cause it's a terrible scare
but that's why the dark is there
see you don't have to see what you can't bear
the lion's share

lion's share
i took the lion's share
not 'cause i didn't care
just 'cause i knew it was there

oh oh oh oh
lion's share
i took the lion's share
not 'cause i didn't care
just 'cause i knew it was there

boy-oy-oy-oy what you running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
boy-oy-oy-oy what you running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
'cause it's a terrible scare
but that's why the dark is there
so you don't have to see what you can't bear
the lion's share

boy-oy-oy-oy what you running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
boy-oy-oy-oy what you running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
'cause it's a terrible scare
but that's why the dark is there
see you don't have to see what you can't bear
the lion's share
