To The Lions Lyrics - Lloyd Cole

I lost my girl on Monday 

Looking for some sympathy 

I went to church directly 

The lord was not there for me 

Didn't go to work on Tuesday 

Got to drinking around noon 

I lost my heart to a mean bartender 

She knocked me off my stool 

Now the world's spinning 'round too fast, lord 

Won't you let me off on the corner? 

You know a man could take to sinning 

All he needs is a little push in that direction 

I lost my job on Friday 

Said a lack of discipline 

I went to church directly 

Peter said he was not in 

I hit the bar on Sunday 

Looking for some discipline 

I sold my soul to the mean bartender 

She said I'm born again 

Now the world's spinning 'round too fast, lord 

Won't you let me off on the corner? 

You know a man could take to sinning 

All he needs is a little pushing 

You time it just right 

You could send me to the lions tonight
