Lyrics Wild Beasts

Wild Beasts

Lion's Share

I find you hidden there a veiled creature of the deep,

Waifish as a widow and without sufficient sleep,

Oh what am I supposed to think?

Do I pull you out of let you sink?

I wait until you're woozy, I lay low until you're lame,

I take you in my mouth like a lion takes his game,

I love you all the more for every fault,

They're how I'd gotten in, they're how I cracked the vault

'Cause it's a terrible scare,

But that's why the dark is there,

So you don't have to see what you can't bear,

The lion's share

Lion's share,

I took the lion's share,

Not 'cause I didn't care,

Just 'cause I knew it was there

Boy what you running from?... Boy?
