Erica Whitney - Lion Tamer Lyrics

Took a wild beast and turned him into my golden boy
Gold links around my neck, his new chew toy
Never stopped running, now he sits at my feet
Groomed myself a guard cat
I wash him, rinse, repeat
Slip on my white gloves
Top hat's my crown
Give 'em what they love
In the crowd is the whole town
She's the master of the ring
Who could blame 'er?
Do you hear the way she sings?
She's a lion tamer
When we walk out take the breath right out of their mouths
And baby I have no doubt
That he will make me proud
The lights come down fire from out his lungs he blows
Tells you one thing you gotta know
Me and my boy are the show
Use no whips or chains, that's inhumane
All I did was gently stroke that long, thick mane
Hear him roar but for me he purrs
A male down on all fours is the way that I prefer
Step into the dirt
Only if you dare
Better watch me first
What I mean is you should stare
She's a lion tamer
Beautiful disaster
Won't accept failure
She's the ringmaster
And at the end of the night
You can feel so alone
Applause in your ears echo
I'll take a seat in the top row
I look down at my boy
His eyes are closed
He strikes a pose
Don't scream and cry wishing on our demise
I'll tell you why that's not wise
It helps our eyes train in on the prize
You can't touch me cause you know who's standing guard
Gotta protect this heart
We've worked so damn hard
So when we walk out take the breath right out of your mouth
Even better when it gets loud
He always makes me proud
The lights come down fire from out his lungs he blows
Tells you the only thing you gotta know
Me and my boy are the show
