the lion's mouth

Stuck my finger in the socket

Wondered why it burned

I stuck my arm right down the drain

You'd think I would have learned…

 

But the scars from burns and metal

Are the ones that heal so slow

And the ones that stay the longest

Are the hardest to let go

 

So I'm glad I stuck my finger

In the socket on the wall

And now I'm off to see

If there's a lion in the hall

 

I plan to walk right up to him

And this is what I'll do

I'll put my head right in his mouth

And dare him to chew

 

Don't ever try to think about

The things you might have done

Just do them hard and do them fast

And try to have some fun…
