Hey,  I'm sorry  if I go too fast
 Tonight let's  pretend that this will last
I've  got a dream you would like  to sleep  on too
Oh,  I'm sorry  to dwell on the past
 I'd better  say nothing at all
 But I've  got this friend who thinks he's  in love  with you
 And it doesn't  sum it up  to say he's singin'  the blues
 And whoever  learned to walk  in somebody  else's shoes
 He's screaming  because  he's found something  to lose
 So you're living  in Eden where  apples are good
 But every  narrow miracle  takes place on earth
Yeah,  the militia  have arrived and the  percussion has come
 And I'm pounding  out messages loud  on the drum
 The rumours  have started  that we  are both young
"Lions  in my own garden  (exit  someone)"
That's  what I say when you just  stay out  of reach
 And it doesn't  sum it up  to say I'm singin'  the blue
 And whoever  learned to walk  in somebody  else's shoes
 I'm screaming  because  I've found  something to lose
 Yeah, it doesn't  sum it up  to say I'm singin'  the blues
 And whoever  learned to walk  in somebody  else's shoes
 I'm  screaming because  I've found something  to lose
 And I'm pounding  out messages loud  on the drum
 The rumours  have started  that we  are both  young
"Lions  in my own garden  (exit  someone)"
