Last Lion Of Albion Lyrics - Neko Case

Early in the morning 

Where there used to be a slough 

There's a tiny business lake 

Don't let the cattails fool you 

Down in the bottom 

Where nothin' is born 

Sleeps a silver dollar 

with your face thereon 

I wish I could trace the frowning compass 

Of your mouth 

Drop a mercury dime down a roman drain 

And summon mars

Last lion of Albion 

They'll use you for centuries to come 

They'll steal your patents for the sun 

And you'll feel extinction 

When you see your face on their money 

Late in the heavens 

That are already bought 

Sleeps a red planet 

In the galaxy of a lion's thoughts 

On the surface every tendon 

And intended machine 

Is gonna buckle, knuckle, kneel 

On a carpet of lion's tongues 

I wish i could stand in the spray 

At the cliff of your sleek revenge 

Oceans of naked, serrated marble 

Crushing in

Last lion of Albion 

They'll use you for centuries to come 

Your wound is the main road into London 

You'll feel extinction 

When you see your face on their money 

Last lion of Albion 

The last she-wolf to mother Rome 

The last virgin to wash ashore 

You'll feel extinction. 

Last lion of Albion 

The last of the mohican's gone 

The last cedars of Lebanon 

You'll feel extinction 

Last lion of Albion 

Last tiger of Tasmania 

The last she-wolf to suckle Rome 

When you see your face on their money
