Lions

Dire Straits

Red sun go down way over dirty town 
Starlings are sweeping around crazy shoals 
A girl is there high heeling across the square 
Wind 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 trying to get a crowd to 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 gives her a fright 
He's a crazy lion 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 
The she's reading about a swing to the right 
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night 
I'm thinking about the lions tonight 
What happend to the lions
