Lion Lyrics


Toward the leaves
Scattered brushed
Long brown leadened
Swirl of haze trodden
The spring garden
Merges with
Merges down
With the forgottenFlowers. Fawn, shadows mere
On a puppet horizon
We want that lion
On our skin
The best of the set we think we've gottenAs if we possess
That we would rise
To a Master's height
A worse sublime
When the tattooist claws in
And starts his trace
We grimacing and cry "foul"Flowered forn, shadows, mere

On a puppet horizon
We want that lion
On our skin
The best of the set we think we've gottenSave only the lion's tail
The pain of imprint not what we thought
The lion safe from knotted claws
Is not what we've forgottenTowards that wall
Of scattered brush
Long and proud
Forgotten
Swirl of haze
Swirl of trust
The spring garden
That we've troddenFlower, fawn shadows mere
On a puppet horizon
We want that lion traced on our skin
The best of set we think we've gotten

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Peter John Murphy (born 11 July 1957, near Northampton, England, raised in Wellingborough, England), is the vocalist of the rock group Bauhaus who later went on to release a number of solo albums, such as Deep and Love Hysteria. By 1983, Bauhaus broke up and Murphy went on to new projects not involving Bauhaus members Kevin Haskins, David J, or Daniel Ash. After some brief dabbling with acting and dance - including a slightly odd televised performance to Bauhaus's "Hollow Hills" - he soon formed Dalis Car with Mick Karn, the bass player from Japan.
