Lion Eyes

(album: Hotel Kalifornia - 2022)

I heard you laugh as I was breaking
Said you love me you were faking
One look into your eyes
I saw the secrets that you hide
I heard you laugh as I was breaking
My soul was there ripe for the taking
Now that I see the truth
God I really fucking hate you

You can't hide
Those Lion Eyes
You can't hide
Those Lion Eyes

All I ever did was try to help
And all you ever did was give me hell
I fell under your spell
Only looking out for yourself
Now it's time for you to go and ruin someone else
Too busy lusting
Said I'm good for nothing
I know I'm good for something
You're happy when I'm suffering
Smiled as I was struggling
'Cause you always loved when
The knife you used was shoved in
Now my life is crumbling

I heard you laugh as I was breaking
Said you love me you were faking
One look into your eyes
I saw the secrets that you hide
I heard you laugh as I was breaking
My soul was there ripe for the taking
Now that I see the truth
God I really fucking hate you

You can't hide
Those Lion Eyes
You can't hide
Those Lion Eyes

Welcome to the church or circus
Short the circuits
Torch the curtains
Digging to the corpses' surface
Saw you and viewed the face of death
Let's fumigate the tent
Then burn it to the earth
To illuminate the rest
Confess at a sideshow
Best of the lies told
Bed of nails every night I slept with a psycho
Breath of a pyro
Neck with a tight rope
Tied in knots
You hide a lot but your eyes show

I heard you laugh as I was breaking
Said you love me you were faking
One look into your eyes
I saw the secrets that you hide
I heard you laugh as I was breaking
My soul was there ripe for the taking
Now that I see the truth
God I really fucking hate you

You can't hide
Those Lion Eyes
You can't hide
Those Lion Eyes
Those Lion Eyes
Those Lion Eyes
