I'm burning like an effigy in here
The summer's come to haunt me
And I know I'm not the sacrificial deer
But I wish you could've warned me
Of the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
At the gate of our love
I understood the chemistry of peace;
You covered me in warpaint
When Moses was a whisper in the reeds
I carved you in the floodplain
By the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
And the gate of our love
Under sweet autumnal skins is our myth dispelled
In your strange and simple way
And the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
Is what makes it our love
The summer's come to haunt me
And I know I'm not the sacrificial deer
But I wish you could've warned me
Of the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
At the gate of our love
I understood the chemistry of peace;
You covered me in warpaint
When Moses was a whisper in the reeds
I carved you in the floodplain
By the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
And the gate of our love
Under sweet autumnal skins is our myth dispelled
In your strange and simple way
And the Phrygian Lion
With his excellent eyesight
Is what makes it our love
