Walking In The Lion's Den

WALKING IN THAT LION’S DEN
SHAKIN’ THE HORNET’S NEST
LORD I’M RATTLIN’, THE TIGER’S CAGE
AND I AIN’T DONE NOTHING WRONG

I FEEL THE HEAT THROUGH THE DOOR
AS I PUT THE KEY TO THE LOCK
BEFORE IT SWINGS FREE,
LORD, THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG
SHE CAN’T BE CONTENT WITH SERENITY
‘CAUSE MISERY, SHE LOVES COMPANY

OH, I’M LUCKY I DON’T GOT STRIPES ON MY BACK
FROM THE TONGUE LASHINGS I DIDN’T PROVOKE
LORD, I’M TIP-TOEIN’, ‘CROSS BROKEN GLASS
I BETTER WATCH MY STEP, OR IT COULD BE MY LAST

LORD, I’M WALKING THE LION’S DEN
SHAKING THE HORNET’S NEST
LORD, I’M RATTLING THE TIGER’S CAGE
AND I AIN’T DONE NOTHING WRONG.

WAKE UP IN THE MORNING TO MORE BAD NEWS
YOU’RE HAVIN’ A BAD DAY, I GUESS I’LL HAVE ONE TOO
I’M DODGING KNIVES ON THAT CUTTING BOARD
AS YOU DRAG ME ACROSS THAT KILLING FLOOR.

OH, I’M REACHIN’ FOR A LIFE-LINE
LORD, THAT WATER KEEPS RISIN’, IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME
BEFORE THIS ANCHOR DRAGS ME TO THE DEEP
THAT’S THE LAST THAT YOU’RE EVER GONNA SEE OF ME.

LORD, I’M WALKIN’ THE LION’S DEN
SHAKIN’ THE HORNET’S NEST
LORD, I’M RATTLIN’ THE TIGER’S CAGE
AND I AIN’T DONE NOTHING WRONG
I AIN’T DONE NOTHING WRONG
LORD, I CAN’T TAKE THIS MUCH MORE.
