Red sun go down way over dirty town Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals Yes and a girl is there high heeling across the square Wind it blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light She looks around to find a face she can like. Church bell clinging on just a trying to get a crowd for Evensong Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays They're all in the station praying for trains Congregation late again It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days Drunk old soldier he give her a fright He's a crazy lion he's a-howling for a fight Strap hanging gunshot sound Doors slamming on the overground Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone Her evening paper is horror torn But there's hope later for Capricorns Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home Then she's reading about a swing to the right But she's a-thinking about a stranger in the night I'm thinking about the lions Thinking about the lions What happened to the lions tonight. Tonight tonight Thinking about the lions

I waved the white flag I gave all I had I'd even given up on love itself, hmm, hmm Soaked by my tears I was choked by my fears Just a stubborn man too proud to ask for help You don't know those words you said Were the ones that pulled me from the edge Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind Do I wanna live or do I wanna die? Staring at the waters while trying to decide Between the pain that I've been living with or the pain I'd leave behind Or the demons I've been fighting on, the angels by my side Oh-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey The scars on my skin, they don't even begin To show the darkest places that I've been, nah, oh The water is rising behind my eyes And only you can see the thoughts I'm drowning in I wanna thank you for those words you said 'Cause they pulled me right back from the edge Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind Do I wanna live or do I wanna die? Staring at the waters while trying to decide Between the pain that I've been living with or the pain I'd leave behind Or the demons I've been fighting on, the angels by my side Hey-hey, hey-hey, hey-hey Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Oh, I used to walk on bridges with one thing on my mind But now I walk on bridges to reach the other side
