The Brunt Lyrics - Ambrosia

Leaping quick on leopard's back 

I face the brunt of his attack 

In the land of nod i'm king 

Until the alarm clock rings 

Stepping out from safety's door 

I hear the rushing traffic roar 

Smiling to myself i say, 

"...hooray its a brand new day" 

Slashing my way through vine 

I'll kill if i have to 

I'll be there on time 

Clawed through the freeway jam 

I curse at the guy who passed me 

Last time 'round 

In my office settled back 

Drink a cup of coffee (black) 

Stretch my mind and try'n erase 

The thought of the day to face 

Life is like the leopard's den 

And once you find you've fallen in 

A safari of the heart 

Surely comes to an end 

Madness is our damnation 

Strange is the situation we're all in 

To one man it matters nothing 

Others it shatters something; no one wins 

I could not see it myself (though i'd read about it) 

I could not hear it myself (though i'd heard about it) 

I could not feel it myself (though i knew that it was real) 

I could not hear it myself (don't you lie about it) 

I could not feel it myself (but don't you cry about it) 

For there's an animal in us all 

The brunt of which you'll see
