lyrics

Took a breath, and held it for you, my lady luck.
We've been throwing shadows at the sun, growing old to stay young.
Mother begs him to pack up the act and come home for his family.
He reply's, but darling, the plans we've made, they'd put an end to us if it's bottled up now.

A chair and whip won't tame this world like it's a lion caged.
Soon you'll be old as time and it's too late, so find love before you go curing hate.

He watches in fear his father at work, even in the eye's of a child,
This life's too short to waste taming a beast which was meant to be wild.
From the lonesome crowd in his mind he asks "Father, please come home." So he kneels to see his boy in the eye, and the lion tamer says to his son

A chair and whip won't tame this world like it's a lion caged.
Soon you'll be old as time and it's too late, so find love before you go curing hate.
