Mountain Goats - Lion's Teeth lyrics

The king of the jungle was asleep in his car When your chances fall in your lap like that you got to 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 to one long sharp tooth and hold on for dear life I hold on Well of course he wakes up his paw hits the horn I am gonna regret the day I was born and then Mom rushes out to the driveway my sister too Everyone is screaming I am dreaming of you I hold on for dear life I hold on and my arms get sore and my palms start to sweat and the tears roll down my face till my cheeks are 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 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
