The Hoosiers - To The Lions Lyrics

The Hoosiers Lyrics

"To The Lions"

Oh, my love
Sympathy's in short supply
There's simply not enough
Lord, God above
Scratching at the bones
To find my diamond in the rough

Girl, I want you to care
But you fed me to the lions
You fed me to the lions
Oh, I'm black and blue
You've abandoned me to the lions

Oh, my love
So short the claws that scratched
At our disintegrating trust
Lord, God above
With heavy head between my hands
Our diamonds turn to dust

Girl, I want you to care
But you fed me to the lions
You fed me to the lions
Oh, what can I do?
You've abandoned me to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions

I'm calling a ceasefire
I'm begging you, please sign
My petition for release
I'm calling a ceasefire
I'm begging you, please sign
My petition for release
I'm calling a ceasefire
I'm begging you, please sign
My petition for release

Girl, I want you to care
But you fed me to the lions
You fed me to the lions
Oh, what can I do?
You've abandoned me to

Girl, I'd go anywhere
But you're casting me in irons
You're casting me in irons
Oh, I'm black and blue
You've abandoned me to the lions

Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
Oh-oh, to the lions
