LyricMeaning

Lion's Teeth
Mountain Goats

The king of the jungle

was asleep in his car

When your chances fall in your lap like that

you got to recognize them for what they really are

Nobody in this house

wants to own up to the truth

I crawl in shotgun and reach into his mouth

and grab hold to one long sharp tooth

and hold on

for dear life

I hold on

Well of course he wakes up

his paw hits the horn

I am gonna regret the day I was born

and then Mom rushes out to the driveway

my sister too

Everyone is screaming

I am dreaming of you

I hold on

for dear life

I hold on

and my arms get sore

and my palms start to sweat

and the tears roll down my face

till my cheeks are hot and red and soaking wet

In come the cops

They blow torch the doors

I start wailing

The lion roars

There's no good way to end this

anyone can see

there's this great big you

and little old me

and we hold on

for dear life

we hold on

we hold on
