Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sun's up, uh huh, looks okay
The world survives into another day
And I'm thinkin' about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
[Verse 2]
I had another dream about lions at the door
They weren't half as frightening as they were before
But I'm thinkin' about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
[Verse 3]
Walls, windows, trees, waves coming through
You'll be in me, and I'll be in you
Together in eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
[Verse 4]
Well up among the firs where it smells so sweet
Or down in the valley where the river used to be
I got my mind on eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
[Verse 5]
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
[Verse 6]
A huge orange flying boat rises off the lake
Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take
Point a finger at eternity
I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy
[Verse 7]
Young men marching
Helmets shining in the sun
Polished and precious
Like the brain behind the gun should be
They got me thinkin' about eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
[Verse 8]
Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
One of these days they're going to sail away
Going to sail into eternity
Some kind of ecstasy's got a hold on me
[Verse 9]
And I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
I wonder where the lions are
