Welcome To LIONIZE LYRICS

LIONIZE is busy out conquering the nation. New fans are looking for the lyrics that many of us know (or think we know) by heart. There are still some tricky words/ lines that are eluding even us.
Here, we are trying to put our ears together and build a fan site dedicated to US, the fans. Providing the things that we, the fans want. Lyrics, song history, little bits of info gleaned from conversations with the band, all that crazy groupie stuff.

So here's the deal, pick a song, write a note, comment on the songs, send us your fan pics, vids, etc.
Ask a question (no guarantees), request info on tour dates, merch, posters, signed posters .

The following songs are now being worked on;

Space Pope flies as the firery ride (?)

Taken to their leaders

I avert my eyes

Cosmic ballet descends

And the preachers pretend the end

The people are all pulsing then…

Chorus

Space Pope steals your soul

Space Pope steals your soul

Now he’s riding… his glass machine

Waving to galaxies

Sight unseen

And he’s got an appetite (he’s got an appetite)

He’s driven below

It all depends on how your father loves you…

Chorus

Steals your soul

Space Pope steals your soul

Right into a black hole

Plaguing all the world with death

Stretching after savior’s day (?)

Filling space with final breath

And that’s the way we spell success…

Chorus

(Spacepope) steals your soul,

(spacepope) Space Pope steals your soul (spacepope)

Steals ((spacepope)your (spacepope)soul (spacepope)

Space Pope (spacepope) steals your soul…..

5. Holy Rollers

Please watch over us as we seek shelter from the rising tide

Black water is coming to take you away

Hey there gilded holy roller

Hope your preachings almost over

No more praying to your father

Death is coming with black water

Black water now

Chorus

Don’t let the tide take you away

From (?) those wicked games you play

When it comes time you will see

Lord I’m mercenary on…(?) (nary on)…

It’s the darkest morning after

I can hear your vile laughter

Commissioned soldiers pay them well

And (?) thus you reel in(?) these final hours, final hours oh…

Chorus

Don’t let these times lead you astray

With all the wicked games you play

When it comes down you will see

Lord I’m mercenary on

So it goes you try to fight (to fight)

The struggle lasting through the night

When black water holds you tight (tight)

You’re never gonna live

To see the light of day and

Chorus

Don’t let these times lead you astray

With all these wicked games they play

When it comes round you will see

All these mercenaries and me.. you’re my family

Oh you got your mercenaries

and again I’ll sing that song

Thought you got your mercenary on me…

6. Northeast Kingdom

I've been wasting Time,
walking through life with my eyes half open.
That's when you showed me sign,
help me see what my life's been missing, now.
I met myself that day.
Sky fire on the top of a mountain,
And then in several ways
that's when I finally found me, now.

Chorus

Do you think you could drive me home?
Are you in control?
Or are we just in this, dis ambiguous?

I said; The earth, the earth she breathes with me
and leads me to her majesty.
Our eyes hazel, blue and green,
and our mouths were fed by the food of strangers.
And as the children danced,
the lions would protect them.
And now my screaming thoughts,
are too loud to neglect them.


Chorus

Do you think you'll drive me home?
Are you in control?
Or are we just in this, dis ambiguous?

(eh.. eh.. ay)

I said; The earth, the earth she breathes with me.
Leads me to her majesty.
Our eyes hazel, blue and green.
Our mouths were fed by the food of strangers.

Chorus

Do you think you'll drive me home?
Are you in control?
Or are we just in this, dis ambiguous?

Do you think you'll drive me home
and, are you in control?
Or are we just in this, dis ambiguous?

I said; The earth, the earth she breathes with me
leads me to her majesty.
Our eyes hazel, blue and green......ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.

7. Good Day

It feels like a good day to stay inside

There’s a marathon running on channel 9

Mix a stiff drink, recline and dine

They’re expecting to resume play anytime

And I’m waiting, waiting, waiting for the man

Yes I’m waiting, waiting, waiting for the man

To arrive…

My clothes are twice my size

And it feels like a good day to shut those blinds

There’s a pair of shoes hanging on a power line

Sleep and don’t think, signal or sign

They’re expecting you to give up anytime

And I’m Waiting, Waiting, Waiting for the Man

Yes I’m Waiting, Waiting, Waiting for the Man

Oh…..

So I’m Waiting, Waiting, Waiting for the Man

Yes I’m Waiting, Waiting, Waiting for the Man

To arrive…

My clothes are twice my size

And I’m waiting for the Man to arrive

And I’m…

And I’m (waiting waiting)

And it feels like a good day to stay inside (waiting)

And it feels like a good day to stay inside (waiting)

And it feels like a good day to stay inside (waiting)

And it feels like a good day to stay inside (waiting)

Good day to stay inside

8. Dollar from a Dime

Dollar from a dime…ah oh oh oh

ah oh oh oh

ah oh oh oh

I got some bills piled up on a table

Ain’t got no money to cover them at all

I got a sweet thing that’s waitin’ home for me

My phone got cut off so she won’t get my call

I ain’t got no money for weed in my bowl

Ain’t nothin’ free but death and time

If it ain’t one thing it’s bound to be another

When you’re tryin’ to make a dollar from a dime

My friends are making it but coming up unhappy

They say they’d trade it all for what I do

When I don’t got money for nothing

No cars, no clothes, no shoes, you know I

Don’t believe it’s true

Someone broke into my trailer again

Took all I got, but everything’s fine

If it ain’t one thing it’s bound to be another

When you’re tryin’ to make a dollar from a dime

Tryin’ make a dollar from a dime

ah oh oh oh

ah oh oh oh

Ain’t got no shows this month and there's nowhere to play

One came in but the writings the wrong way

Don’t let it go, don’t let it get stale

Don’t you know a joke on a velvet rope

When the check’s in the mail

I ain’t got no weed to put in my bowl

Nothin’ free in life but death and time

If it ain’t one thing it’s bound to be another

When you’re tryin’ to make a dollar from a dime

Tryin’ to make a dollar from a dime

Tryin’ to make a dollar dollar

Ain’t got no money to cover them at all

Ain’t got no phone, got no money at all

Ain’t got no diamond(timing)?, ain’t got a diamond

And I ain’t got the time, what's it’s gonna take,

to get me started ?

11. Next Big Thing

I heard about the man
with the patting day plea
The next big thing was him
and the reason was me

Chorus
Oh i'd never ever have a million dollars
full of nickles and dimes
and I'd sit around and count em all all the time
I'd only have enough to cover my tiniest crimes
spend the rest of my life on music (my life on music)
spend the rest of my life on music (my life on music)
Oh and my life would be fine

I heard about the man
with the turbo charged jeep
everything was him
Oh even the land and sea
he lost his simple peace (simple peace)
when the music left his head OH!
and after crying out
he started listening instead

Chorus
I said i'd never ever have a million dollars
full of nickles and dimes
and I'd sit around and count it all all the time
I'd only have enough to cover my tiniest crimes
and I'd spend the rest of my life on music (my life on music)
Oh music (my life on music)

sometimes I'm smokin weed
the thought it hits me
what if I were him
o what if he were me
Oh my!

Chorus
I'd never ever have a million dollars
full of nickles and dimes
sit around and count em all all the time
I'd only have enough to cover my tiniest crimes
spend the rest of my life on music (my life on music)
spend the rest of my life on music (my life on music)
and my life would be fine

never, never
never, never

12. Tyrants

Don’t lock me up don’t throw away the key

How am I ever to be free?

The nightmare’s down my street.

With a dependable beat.

Casting along the shadows.

And it’ll happen again and again and again and again.

And it’ll happen again and again and again and again and again and again.

Condos with Nymphos,

several ID’s

you got phased over fencing

And you’re hidin’ in the trenches

Everything is cool to the touch

And it’ll happen again and again and again and again

It’ll happen again and again and again and again and again and again

The mechanical rhythm of tyrants

Strikes within

And like every night it happens every night it happens

every night it happens every night it happens

every night it happens every night it happens

every night it happens every night it happens

And it’ll happen again and again and again and again

And it’ll happen again and again and again and again and again and again

The mechanical rhythm of tyrants

Strikes within

Strikes within and it strikes within

And it strikes within

Strikes within

And it goes within and it gets you inside

Mummies Wrapped In Money

I'm stepping slow with my hands straight out.
Silhouettes creeping and the people try to shout.
They only say the words
They're putting in your mouth
Riding in style
Is that what it's all about?

Chorus

Everywhere ya go (ya got the girls all singing it )
deep underground (and they're still bringing in)
Mummies wrapped in money
Never run out of breath (ahh.. ahh.. ahh..ahh)
Still be making records (platinuim)
even after death, even after death.



Check it son,I got a.....
Platinum chain with my name spelled out
I punctuate the diamonds like ice in the mouth
Money means the world
so it's coming with me
Would you like to meet
real wrapped royalty

Chorus
Everywhere ya go (ya got the girls all singing it )
deep underground (and they're still bringing in)
Mummies wrapped in money
Never run out of breath (ahh.. ahh.. ahh..ahh)
Still be making records (platinuim)
even after death, even after death.

There's nothing but room in my tomb.
There's nothing worse than the curse.
And there's a palace before you under a kingdom of dirt.
There's nothing but bitches and hoes
And ( ? ) rotting on ( ? )
I took a shot straight to the dome.
My woodgrain
My Champange
My brand name
My dope game
It's all the same.

Chorus

Everywhere ya go (ya got the girls all singing it )
deep underground (and they're still bringing in)
Mummies wrapped in money
Never run out of breath (ahh.. ahh.. ahh..ahh)
Still be making records (platinuim)
even after death, even after death.

I wanna know...........
****
(Guest vocals, Neil Fallon)
Just how many " ? ""?",
can one feel with the kisses
ofHigh Priest with tweezers and golden scissors.
Cartouche bagged Osiris, go get papyrus.
The valley of the kings is filled with sand.
Pharaoh's got issues of the nightmarish kind.
Interpreter of dreams looks him in the eye.
Plagues and hardships, treasure and blood,
no gates can hold back the sandy flood.
*****

How ya gonna keep them in a box, a box, a box
for eternity?
Mummies wrapped in money, man, in mortality.
How ya gonna keep them in a box, a box, a box
for eternity?
Mummies wrapped in money, man, in mortality.

Behind Closed Doors

Picture perfect sunny days,
A perfect lawn and the bills are paid
We left the city just in time before rise of poverty and crime
We had three square meals brand new toys
Our daddy's found of his little boys
And you could fix all you ales with just a little bottle of pills he said
The shutters were painted to meet regulations
Inside?inside them? was growing frustrations

Chorus

What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows for sure

We had a glass of wine, maybe ten
You're moms had a hard day again
Jobs a drag, schools a bitch
I need something to scratch this itch
We had brand new cars clothes and skies
Sometimes church but its mostly tv
You don't get out alive and when you try to leave
You had a ?drive? You say
The back yard is gorgeous
The fence is like a fortress
And every day it gets harder to keep in my daughter

Chorus

What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows for sure

We all got something to hide, something hide, something to hide
We're all livin a lie, livin a lie, livin a lie
We all got something to hide, something hide, something to hide
We're all livin a lie, livin a lie, livin a lie
We all got something to hide, something hide, something to hide
We're all livin a lie, livin a lie, livin a lie

Its whats on the inside that counts
So whats on the inside

Chorus

What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows
What goes on behind closed doors nobody knows, nobody knows for sure

Killers

Someones waiting in the dark
Behind your seats while you drive your car.
Your supposed to be alone your just not sure.
Did you forget to run and lock your door?
Did you lock your door?
My friends say its pointless to worry.
I'd rather be safe than sorry.

There's a killer who's waiting,
waiting and anticipating,
that you will slip up so he can take your life away.
So he can take your life away.

When you walk alone at night,
make sure you stay close to street lights.
It's not child's play its how i get my fix.
From the darkness i wait and decide witch one to pick,
and your on are list.

Your friends say its pointless to worry, but
if you don't play it safe you'll be sorry.
Your a victim who's waiting,
waiting while chances are fading
that you will wise up and you will get away alive.
you'll never get away alive.

When you look at yourself in the mirror you see,
all the shapes in your face all the lives that you lead.
It's a mistake don't you ever ask for more,
wait there's a killer behind the door.

My friends say its pointless to worry,
but id rather be safe than sorry.
There's a killer who's praying,
watching and anxiously shaking.
He's gonna creep up and there's nothing you can say.
He's gonna take your life away.
Don't let him take your life away.
