Young Lions Lyrics by Adrian Belew

Young Lions Lyrics

    Hot tribal night
    Underneath florescent skies
    Bonfires rage strange
    Wild waving shouting picasso faces

    In the guise of a lioness
    The wind kisses her burning dress
    You can fell her animal eyes
    You can hear them cry,
    "be the jewel around my neck,
    Never a tear on my burning dress"

    Lying, paralyzed,
    A brave prey who lays dying
    And is surrounded by angry spirits
    Hunters, guns, drums, and elephants

    Why is this night quiet?
    Filled with trees filled with eyes
    As she prowls around my feet
    She throws back her head dress and cries,
    "now you will be mine,
    Be my young lion"

    Why is this night quiet?
    Why the trees filled with eyes?
    As she prowls around my feet
    She throws back her head dress and cries,
    "be my young lion"
