Lion's Mane

Wearing a lions mane

In dress from the eighties

She cut you like stained glass

Til you fell out of the frame

It was a secret disaster

I was sitting on your knee

I was just a kid then

But i wanted more daddy

It's a long way back

If you don't believe

Where you go

I see it coming 

I will find you 

When the shadows speak 

When you come around

There'll be no chains around me 

You always had a new car

Driving from the window

Big house with the front yard

You were god from the get go 

Mama always loved you

cnd she carried it on her back

Everybody shouting 

Trying to claim but they lost track

It's a long way back

If you don't believe

Where you go

I see it coming 

I will find you 

When the shadows speak 

When you come around

There'll be no chains around me 

Doubled up in beds 

cfter you up and left 

That's what you did 

That's what you did 

I waited up in my bed

cfter you left

That's what I did 

That's what I did 

Now that I'm older 

cnd I know what I know 

I'm gonna tuck my kids in at night

Gonna be there for the morning glow 

Maybe you were never there

When I needed you most

But I'm the woman that you made and I gotta be fair  

So I gotta say thank you 

It's a long way back

If you don't believe

Where you go

I see it coming 

I will find you 

When the shadows speak 

When you come around

There'll be no chains around me
