My Pet Lion

There’s a moment In every day Right before It’s too late Innocent child Sees the truth But your mother Never knew You snuck downstairs And doused the flames All in vain Can’t hold on Gotta let go Can’t hold on Gotta let go You know just what you want You want ice cream and bags of chips And chocolate and blood and guts And drugs and s*x and cigarettes I got tricks to keep me in line Like being good for a while I sit on my hands But my heart speeds up qxkpstmz fuck! Can’t hold on Gotta let go Can’t hold on Gotta let go Make me wild Let me out Inside a house On stormy seas The roof is leaking Under the waves There is no light And everyone’s sleeping I’m so afraid I’m not in control It’s out of control Rip me to shreds and spit it out all over the world Make me wild There’s a moment In every day Just before It’s too late Can’t hold on Gotta let go Can’t hold on Gotta let go I can’t hold on Gotta let go --- My Pet Lion - Juliana Hatfield
