Lions After Slumber

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My diplomacy, my security, my hope and my ice-cream

My tomorrow and my temperature, my lips and my selfishness

My cigarette, my uncertainty, my penetration

My notebook and my limit, my importance and my glycerine

My customer, my function, my lawlessness, my charm

My hunger, my refusal, my tissue and my vodka

My ommission, my ability, my telephone and my holler

My relaxing, my distress, my bedroom, my cassette

My dictation and my pulse, my fortune and my death

My flake and my restlessness, my headache and my dirt

My paper and my charity, my rose and my pallor

My guess and my closet, my light 'n' my time

My worry, my perversity, my transgression

My temptation and my polythene, my gunshot [click]

My jealousy and my water

My demands 'n' my angels 'n' my waiting 'n' my distance

My death, my curtness, my insulin, my memory

My partner 'n' my sadness, my story, my wantoness

My wish, my despair, my erasure, my plantation

My white chocolate, my thoughtlessness, my gracelessness

My courage and my crying, my pockets 'n' my mistakes

My body and my sex, my gaze and my helplessness

My letter, my sugar, my homework, my walk

My records, my smile and my struggle

My reflection, my eyelid, my fragility, my discretion

My hair, my austerity, my tattoo, my demise

My fooling and my terror, my problem and my judgement

Oh my disguise, my tongue

My ownership, my formula, my property, my thought, my razor

My blessing and my silence, my lust and my practice

My sincerity, my penecillin, my window and my androgyny

My mother, my recorder, my pity and my posing

My light, my carelessness, my drummer, my drummer, my drummer, my drummer

My tenderness 'n' my car, my undoing and my history

My bottle and my drugs, my drugs, my drugs

Tomorrow, my temperature, my lips and my selfishness

My cigarette, my uncertainty, my penetration, my notebook

[breath] My limit, my importance, my glycerine, my customer, my function

My lawlessness, my charm and my hunger

My refusal, my tissue, my vodka, my admission

[instrumental break]

My ability and my telephone, my holler, my relaxing

My distress and my bedroom, my restlessness, my headache

My dirt, my paper, charity, my rose

My pallor, my guess and my closet,

my light 'n' my time, my worry, my perversity

My transgression honey, my temptation honey

My polythene, my jealousy

My water, my demands, my angels

My waiting, my distance, my death, my curtness, my insulin

My memory, my partner, my refrigerator

My sadness, my story, my wantoness, my skipping

My wish and my despair, my erasure, my plantation, my chocolate

My thoughtlessness, my gracelessness, my courage and my crying

My pockets, my homework

Like lions after slumber in unvanquishable number

Oh Yeah
