Lyrics
Red sun goin down way over dirty town Starlings, they're sweeping around yeh crazy shoals Yes, and a girl is there High heeling out across the square Wind it 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 just t' Trying to get a crowd for evensong Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays They're all in the station praying for trains The congregation late again It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days Drunk old soldier he gave 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 for later capricorns Lucky stars give her just enough to get her home Then she read about a swing to the right But she's a-thinkin' 'bout a stranger in the night
I'm thinking about the lions I'm thinking about the lions What happened to the lions tonight, tonight, tonight
