I was
once a lion,
the monster in Orion
A 
D 
At last the humans came,
G 
D 
A 
now I'm handled with a chain
D 
Hear the children holler,
a serpent for a collar
G 
D 
A 
I will get no rest in this haunted wilderness
D 
G 
D 
Then the crowd come and go
G 
D 
A 
To what end, no one knows
D 
Critics write the canon,
the bankers bring the famine
A 
D 
G 
D 
There will always be a little crumb
A 
for you and me
D 
Hear the serpent holler,
a child for a dollar
A 
D 
G 
I will get no rest in this
D

mirrored wilderness

Like the dust in the meadow, he said
Call him Narcissus,
I know all his secrets
A

He is such a fool,
A

he drowned his love in a swimming pool
A 
D 
Hear the trainer holler
A 
A serpent boy collar,
D 
G 
A 
he hates it when I roar
D 
G 
D 
A 
And when he's drunk he hates it more
G 
D 
And the crowd comes and goes
G

To what end no one knows
G

Like the ships on the wind
G

Like the dust in the middle
A

of the sand
