Last Lion of Albion

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
