Juliana Hatfield — My Pet Lion lyrics

Lyrics

There’s a moment in every day
Right before it’s too late
Innocent child sees the truth
But your mother never knew
You snuck downstairs
And doused the flames
All in vain
Can’t hold on Gotta let go Can’t hold on Gotta let go You know just what you want
You want ice cream and bags of chips
And chocolate and blood and guts
And drugs and sex and cigarettes
I got tricks to keep me in line
Like being good for a while
I sit on my hands
But my heart speeds up So just do it, huh, fuck
Can’t hold on Gotta let go Can’t hold on Gotta let go Make me wild
Let me out
Inside a house on stormy seas
The roof is leaking under the waves
There is no light and everyone’s sleeping
I’m so afraid
I’m not in control
It’s out of control
Rip me to shreds
And spit it out all over the world
Make me wild
There’s a moment
In every day
Just before
It’s too late
Can’t hold on Gotta let go Can’t hold on Gotta let go I can’t hold on Gotta let go
