liontamer lyrics

If you place a thing in the center of your life
That lacks the power to nourish
It will eventually poison everything that you are
And destroy you

As simple a thing as an idea
Or your perspective on yourself of the world
No one can be the source of your contempt
It lies within, in the center

Only with mellow while you're thin enough to slide through
Only with mellow while you're thin enough to slide through

Don't let nothing ride you
If the sun or the moon should kill away to die
They would immediately go out
One swallow don't make a sound
But tomorrow has to start somewhere

Newspapers entertain
Lion tamers die in pain
This child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without cease

Newspapers entertain
Lion tamers die in pain
This child wise beyond words or years
Whose tears flow without cease

When there's no where, left to run to
Let me come to you, let me help you down
For when the world gives you tomorrow
You're gonna learn to live again

We can learn to go or learn as we go
Just to live, for the day
I know it's hard, to live for the moment
Just try, anyway

Newspapers, lion tamers, this child wise
Whose tears, lion tamers, lion tamers
