Sun's up, uuh huh, looks okay
   the world survives into another day
   and i'm thinking about eternity
   some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.
  
   I had another dream about lions at the door
   they weren't half as frightening as they were before
   but i'm thinking about eternity
   some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me.
  
   Walls windows trees, waves coming through
   you be in me and i'll be in you
   together in eternity
   some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
  
   Up among the firs where it smells so sweet
   or down in the valley where the river used to be
   i got my mind on eternity
   some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
   and i'm wondering where the lions are...
   i'm wondering where the lions are...
  
   Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake,
   thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take,
   pointing a finger at eternity
   i'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy
  
   Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun,
   polished as precise like the brain behind the gun
   (should be!) they got me thinking about eternity
   some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
   and i'm wondering where the lions are...
   i'm wondering where the lions are...
  
   Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay
   One of these days we're going to sail away,
   going to sail into eternity
   some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me
   and i'm wondering where the lions are...
   i'm wondering where the lions are...
