On the stage, behind the curtains, before the crowd arrives
Silhouettes in the shadows, thoughts behind closed eyes
Lions at the gate, they feed in the shadows, away from the wall where the watchers can't see
And if they should catch you, astray from the pathway

A flash of the darkness where their teeth brightly gleam
I heard the Persian girl rehearsing, her voice was pure and clear
She sang about her wandering star, and made it's light appear
I saw the pretty German girls, who giggled at their food

I saw their white teeth glitter brightly, smiling as they chewed
Lions at the gate, they feed in the shadows, away from the wall where the watchers can't see
And if they should catch you, astray from the pathway
A flash of the darkness where their teeth brightly gleam

It's all about the steps outside, the path I took headland
Watch it from the balcony, needle into hair
Through the windows, green reflection, I see the desert sun
And the star that shone above it, diamonds on her hand

Lions at the gate, they feed in the shadows, away from the wall where the watchers can't see
And if they should catch you, astray from the pathway
A flash of the darkness where their teeth brightly gleam
