Well just the other day
While alone in my room
I said to myself
I need something new
I've cut a new life slice
And feed the lions twice
And they'll shake their manes in confusion

My love, my love's in vain, my love
My love, my love's in vain, my love

Put a bet on everything
It'll come up fine
My fingers are crossed
And tapping in time
You got a pretty face
Such a pretty pretty face
You can brush your own mane
Fame is your pain

My love, my love's in vain, my love
My love, my love's in vain, my love

Maybe an older woman
Will show me a way
To ease those creases
And crave no reasons
'Cause reasons are with gods
There's a heaven within me
But we all shake our manes in confusion

My love, my love's in vain, my love
My love, my love's in vain, my love

Should I grab you by the collar
Or just go my way
With a knife between my clean white teeth
Don't want your feather in my cap
Don't care about that
You can fuck your own mane
Fame is your pain

My love, my love's in vain, my love
My love, my love's in vain, my love
