"Lion Tamer" lyrics

"Lion Tamer"

In the lions den
Stands the lions tamer
And to walk with him
Is to walk with danger
You could never know
How much he suffered
He says, I am a beast
Give me back my jungle

And oh watch me rock
Oh watch me roar
Never did I ever think it'd be me
Here six years old
Oh watch me rock
Oh watch me roar
Never did I ever think it'd be me
Here six years old

Here lies Jeff Buckley
Right after the lions
Right next to the tigers
In the Memphis Zoo
