King Lion Songtext
von Weeping Tile

What if you and I were to go swimmin′ in the afternoon
And all the while pretend
Put two dollars in the can
For some trust and salt at a roadside stand
Get some flowers for the dead
We used to play in the back hall
But now it's anywhere at all

And you ask me every day
Knockin′ on the cabin door
In my sleep I swear I hear you roar

Hey, do you wanna play?
If I could be king lion for a day
The hour hand would spin away
But I don't wanna draw
Everything else is a bore
Oh, why do we have to stop and wait
Until tomorrow?


And I will be your sidekick
Any character and plot lines
We can scheme up in our head
Settlin' our pine cone wars
Or sailin′ off to Zulu shores
To savor ruby dew, it′s red

Lately to my surprise
I'm seeing things with six year old eyes
And I like the view
You don′t even read or write
And you still sleep with a night light
But I take my leads from you

So if I could be king lion for a day
The hour hand would spin away
But I don't wanna draw
Everything else is a bore
Oh, why do we have to stop and wait
Until tomorrow?

You don′t know what it is to be with
You don't know what it is to be with
You don′t know what it is to be
You don't know what it is to be with you


So what if you and I were to go swimmin' in the afternoon
And all the while pretend
We could put two dollars in the can
For some trust and salt at a roadside stand
Get some flowers for the dead

Lately to my surprise
I′m seeing things with six year old eyes
And I like the view
You don′t even read or write
And you still sleep with a night light
But I take my leads from you

If I could be king lion for a day
The hour hand would spin away
But I don't wanna draw
Everything else is a bore
Oh, why do we have to stop and wait
Until tomorrow?

Until tomorrow?
Until tomorrow?
