Walking In The Lion's Den

Walking in the Lion's Den

 Walking in that lion's den
 Shakin' the hornet's nest
 Lord I'm rattlin', the tiger's cage
 And I ain't done nothing wrong
 I feel the heat through the door
 As I put the key to the lock
 Before it swings free,
 Lord, there's something wrong
 She can't be content with serenity
 'Cause misery, she loves company
 Oh, I'm lucky I don't got stripes on my back
 From the tongue lashings I didn't provoke
 Lord, I'm tip-toein', 'cross broken glass
 I better watch my step, or it could be my last
 Lord, I'm walking the lion's den
 Shaking the hornet's nest
 Lord, I'm rattling the tiger's cage
 And I ain't done nothing wrong
 Wake up in the morning to more bad news
 You're havin' a bad day, I guess I'll have one too
 I'm dodging knives on that cutting board
 As you drag me across that killing floor
 Oh, I'm reachin' for a life-line
 Lord, that water keeps risin', It's just a matter of time
 Before this anchor drags me to the deep
 That's the last that you're ever gonna see of me
 Lord, I'm walkin' the lion's den
 Shakin' the hornet's nest
 Lord, I'm rattlin' the tiger's cage
 And I ain't done nothing wrong
 I ain't done nothing wrong
 Lord, I can't take this much more
