[Verse 1: Nigel Chapman]
When I think thoughts about my hometown
I sometimes feel like I'll never get back
On the brink, a shadow covers over
Whatever future I thought that I could have
[Verse 2]
At the sink, I wait for the cold water
I burned myself here one too many times
At the lab, they've turned off the hot water heater
From the month of June right through until July
[Chorus 1]
A lion in chains above them x4
[Verse 3]
Passing slowly the hours of my discontent
I felt a new craze welling up behind my eyes
In a flood of tears, I gave myself to the heavens
Where once a fire of anxious feelings forced me not to cry
[Chorus 2]
A lion in chains above me x4
[Verse 4]
Through my window and down across my sightlines
To the river where the evening thrush resides
Along the water winding through woods and open fields
My imagination pony rides
[Chorus 3]
A lion in chains above him x4
[Verse 5]
Sleeping at the crest of a titanic crashing wave
I fell to strange dreams of jealousy and the know-it-all crown
I wandered blindly through the field; I wandered blindly and alone
But could not find another one for my protector and my guide
[Chorus 4]
They've all got lions in chains above them x4
[Verse 6]
Steep is the cost when the dreams of love are broken
Grueling the workshop where they're put back together in time
I saw gold mines and a different kind of token
Here at the arcade I spent about 45 000 dimes
[Verse 7]
When I think thoughts about my hometown
I sometimes feel like I'll never get out of here
I feel a warm breath and a deadly uncaring power at the back of my neck
And I wonder what it is that keeps me here
