Wild Beasts

i find you hid a mirror-veiled
creature of the deep
waifish as a widow
and without sufficient sleep
oh what am i supposed to think
do i pull you out
or do i let you sink

i wait until you're woozy
i lay low until your limp
i take it in the mouth
like a lion takes his game
i love you all the more
for every thought
but how it got within me
how i cracked the vault

'cause it's a terrible scare
but that's why the dark is there
see you don't have to see what you can't bear
the lion's share

lion's share
i took the lion's share
not 'cause i didn't care
just 'cause i knew it was there

oh oh oh
lion's share
i took the lion's share
not 'cause i didn't care
just 'cause i knew it was there

boy-oy-oy-oy whatcha running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
boy-oy-oy-oy whatcha running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
'cause it's a terrible scare
but that's why the dark is there
see you don't have to see what you can't bear
the lion's share

boy-oy-oy-oy whatcha running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
boy-oy-oy-oy whatcha running from
boy-oy-oy-oy
'cause it's a terrible scare
but that's why the dark is there
see you don't have to see what you can't bear
the lion's share
ooh
