Lyrics: Kajagoogoo. Islands. The Lion's Mouth.

Take away my prime from the mouth of the lion

Savage jaws are the price we pay

Take away their lies
let me see with my own eyes

Walk along the narrow way.
Oh
what a waste

Your sword is no use when you're standing face to face

Oh
what a waste
harvest the human race

Your sword's no use to you when you're standing face to face.
Hey
you fool
watch out

You'll get mauled by the lion's mouth.
Hey
you fool
watch out

You'll get mauled by the lion's mouth.


Take away my chains
don't want to see 'em again.
Take away my misery.
Take away my blindfold

Don't want to belong to the old.
Take it up and set me free.
Oh
what a waste
. . .
Hey
you fool
watch out

You'll get mauled by the lion's mouth

I don't think so.
Hey
you fool
watch out
. . .
Hey
you fool
watch out
. ..
