The Mountain Goats — Lions Teeth Jordan Lake Sessions Volume 1

The king of the jungle Was asleep in his car When your chances fall in your lap like that You gotta recognize them for what they really are Nobody in this house Wants to own up to the truth I crawl in shotgun and reach into his mouth And grab hold of one long, sharp tooth And hold on For dear life, I hold on Well of course he wakes up And his paw hits the horn I am gonna regret The day that I was born And then mom Rushes out to the driveway My sister too Everyone screaming I am down here dreaming Dreaming of you, I hold on For dear life, I hold on And my arms get sore And my palms start to swеat And the tears roll down my face 'Til my cheeks arе hot and red and soaking wet In come the cops They blow torch the doors I start wailing The lion roars There's no good way to end this, anyone Anyone can see There's this great big you And little old me And we hold on For dear life, we hold on We hold on Pretty good Sound in tune enough? Yeah I'm gonna use my hands instead of the pick, Chris, okay? Hi, we're The Mountain Goats and this is our song, "This Year"
