Lloyd Cole › Lyrics › To the Lions

I lost my girl on Monday
Looking for some sympathies
I went to church directly
The Lord was not there for me

Didn't go to work on Tuesday
Got to drinking around noon
I lost my heart to a mean bartender
She knocked me off my stool

Now the world's spinning round too fast, Lord
Won't you let me off on the corner?
You know a man could take to sinning
All the needs a little push in that direction

I lost my job on Friday
Said, "A lack of discipline"
I went to church directly
Peter said he was not in

I hit the bar on Sunday
Looking for some discipline
I sold my soul to the mean bartender
She said,"I'm born again"

Now the world's spinning round too fast, Lord
Won't you let me off on the corner?
You know a man could take to sinning
All he needs a little push, you time it just right
You could send me to the lions tonight
