"Lioness" lyrics

I've signed things that I haven't read
Only good has come of it
Eyes forward, blinders on
Keep your head up, let your mind trail off

These hills to die on are reasons to live
I'll argue your point of view if you wanna switch
There's no joke I can't empathize with
Check your mirrors, mind your business

I work in mysterious ways
I work in mysterious ways

I'm a lioness with a thorn in her paw
Crying like a kitten, calling all of it off
Sick of people saying I'm a know-it-all
Blood still dripping off my glass jaw

Fool me twice and you forced my hand
I needed you to be the bigger man
Fuck with me and you're gonna find out
That I will back down

I work in mysterious ways
I work in mysterious ways
I work in mysterious ways
I work in mysterious ways

Tell me where to stand
Tell me what to say
Tell me who I am
I can do it different

(Tell me where to stand) I'm not doing it wrong
(Tell me what to say) I'm just doing it differently
(Tell me who I am) Don't get it at all
(I can do it different) But I won't let it get to me

(Tell me where to stand) Not doing it wrong
(Tell me what to say) I'm just doing it differently
(Tell me who I am) Don't get it at all
(I can do it different) But I won't let it get to me
(Tell me where to stand) Not doing it wrong
(Tell me what to say) I'm just doing it differently
(Tell me who I am) Don't get it at all
(I can do it different) But I won't let it get to me

They put my picture on the poster
Trapped me on the rollercoaster
Now they've closed the gates for good
It feels different than I thought it would

I still know it when they dim the lights
Watching Sadie talk to God through a lav mic
At the bottom of it all there's a big dream
Grass growing back through the concrete

I work in mysterious ways
I work in mysterious ways
I work in mysterious ways
I work in mysterious ways
