Lyrics Darren Hayes

Darren Hayes

The Future Holds a Lion's Heart

When I first escaped the city of York

And leapt out of this cage

No silicon chip could sublimate

Or tame this temptuous rage

When my heart was in the attic

Like the picture of Dorian Gray

I was rescued by the enemy

That dare not speak it's name

Say hello to your future

I'm just pleased to meet you

You were a million miles away

Say hello to your lion's heart

Queen Victoria's England

Will never ever be the same

Giddyup!

When I left the warm surroundings

Of my selfish difficult stage

When our eyes first met there was deja-vu

And a feeling I could not shake

Then gravity seduced me

And drew me to this place

I could swear we were together

In an entirely different age

Say hello to your future

I'm just pleased to meet you

You were a million miles away

Say hello to your lion's heart

Queen Victoria's England

Will never ever be the same

So wonderfully good looking

With fine and delicate lines

If I place this face in carbon freeze

It will never be affected by time

She said "Don't confuse your beauty

With the insolence of youth.

You can move through time in one direction.

Sad but it's the truth"

But it took so long to meet you

But it took so long to meet you

It took so long to meet you

It's time to go

It's time to leave

You should never have come

Get back to the craft

Get back to your age

Take somebody with you

Giddyup!

Say hello to your future

I'm just pleased to meet you

You were a million miles away

Say hello to your lion's heart

Queen Victoria's England

Will never ever be the same
