lyrics

Lion Tamer

Stephanie was a lion tamer,
Before the birth of her first child,
Now she's working three mornings the shelter,
Taking Arabic on Thursday nights.

The prince of confusion grew up,
Met a dancer's daughter,
Red paint on her hands,
Promised him the world,
Left a note on the wall,
That he can't understand.

Enough said the prince,
I'm going sailing.
Without an anchor, a sextant,
Or a semblance of a plan,
God take me or spare me,
If you send me back,
Send me back a man.

It's alright, it's alright, it's aright,
It's learning to talk, it's learning to be,
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
It's walking on water, it's learning to breathe

I want to help, but i can't be your safety net.

It's alright, it's alright, it's aright..
it's learning to talk, it's learnign to be,
it's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
it's walking on water it's learning to breathe

It's my breath, it's my breath,
It's my breath, it's my breath.
