Lying on my side knowing of thirst is how I'll die 

Chalk on my tongue 

Lying on the night beneath the dunes is where I lie to block the sun 

Trying to ignite some sort of passion from inside to overcome 

This feeling of desertion can't be worse than never having anyone 

So I'll ask one thing 

Just one thing of you 

Don't ever turn me loose 

Even when I turn my back 

A lion on his side was it the lying or his pride which brought him down? 

Once the king of beasts but now they feast on the thoughts beneath his vacant crown 

Trying to decide was it the lying or the pride which brought it down? 

To be alone to be dethroned belive me I know all about it now 

So I'll ask one thing 

Just one thing of you 

Dont ever turn me loose 

Even when I turn my back 

I never told you then that I'd be easy to love 

Supposedly I'm a man but I felt like a cub 

I wanna run to the plains further and farther away 

Not ever knowing that I'd never come back the same
