i took road and said goodbye   friends go one way i went mine   i got lost then very quickly   started shaking feeling sickly   in the lion lair, in the lion lair   watch your own self and take care      i am outside, almost one   with all the life in the lion lair   all alone and all around   canyon clept above the ground   there was treeless flat around me   and no evil came and found me   in the lion lair, in the lion lair   watch your own self and take care   i am outside, almost one   with all the life in the lion lair      stars came out in midday burning   earth grumbled stones were churning   colors red were rocks and sky   and powered glint infused the eye   had himself in no time   hand on shaft and gripped his ball   wished your mouth would come down on it   feel your lips sink warm upon it   in the lion lair, in the lion lair   watch your own self and take care   i am outside, almost one   with all the life in the lion lair      beast and bird they called me kin   bathed me and they tucked me in   laid down on the forest ground   stars above they shon on down   in the lion lair, in the lion lair   watch your own self and take care   i am outside, almost one   with all the life in the lion lair      in the lion lair, in the lion lair   watch your own self and take care   i am outside, almost one   with all the life in the lion lair
