I'm a little lion man with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man with a head full of stars but a coward's heart

I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man

I'm a little lion man with a head full of stars but a coward's heart

I'm sorry for the things I've done, but more sorry for the man I'm not
She says now don't you worry, picks petals off a love me not
I swear she could walk on water, if she didn't have to hold me up


My friends all look like strangers, my desk is crumpled papers
I want to take this world and

break it apart and rearrange it
Yeah I've got a lot of problems, but I guess I've got a lot more angels,
One thing I know for sure though, none of them have come from bravery


It takes a lot less effort to learn to fear than love
But if I just don't try then I will never have to give up

She says that she knows my heart, that I've come so far, that I will not stop
That I don't see me like they see me, well I think she's wrong but I hope she's not


But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really $#&@ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?
Didn't I, my dear?


I'm a little lion man with a head full of stars but a coward's heart
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man with a head full of stars but a coward's heart

I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man

I'm a little lion man, with a body of tin but a heart of stone

My friends all want to get high, well I just don't wanna get low
They're scared of things they know. Me? I'm scared of the things I don't
I fear that bump in the night could be myself if I lose hope


I did not start the fire, son but I sure watched it burn
I sat and warmed my hands at the ash of the gifts that I've not earned

I swear on the body in the box that I will be when it comes my turn
You can tell the people that I love that I may yet run but I will return


But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really $#&@ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line
I really $#&@ed it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my dear?

I'm a little lion man with a head full of stars but a coward's heart

I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man
I'm a little lion man, with a body of tin but a heart of stone
I'm a little lion man, I'm a little lion man


Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh


But it was not your fault but mine
And it was your heart on the line
I really $#&@ed it up this time

Didn't I, my dear?

But it was not your fault but mine

And it was your heart on the line
I really $#&@ed it up this time
Didn't I, my dear?

Didn't I, my dear?
