To The Lions

(album: Don't Get Weird On Me Babe - 1991)

I lost my girl on Monday
Looking for some sympathy
I went to church directly
The lord was not there for me

Didn't go to work on Tuesday
Got to drinking around noon
I lost my heart to a mean bartender
She knocked me off my stool

Now the world's spinning round too fast
Lord, won't you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs is a little push in that direction

I lost my job on Friday
Said a lack of discipline
I went to church directly
Peter said "He is not in"

I hit the bar on Sunday
Looking for some discipline
I sold my soul to the mean bartender
She said I'm born again

Now the world's spinning round too fast
Lord, won't you let me off on the corner
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs a little pushing
If you time it just right
You could send me to the lions tonight
