Bm   D    A    G7
Red sun go down way over dirty town
Bm      D       A   G7   Bm
Starling are sweeping around crazy shoals
 D
A girl is there
A       G7
High heeling across the square
Bm        D        A            G7
Wind is blowing around in her hair and the flags upon the poles
Em7
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
          Gm6  F#7     Bm  F#m7  Bm F#m7 C7
She looks around to find a face she can like

Bm     D          A         G7
Church bell clinging on just to try to get a crowd for Evensong
Bm       D     A       G7
Nobody cares to depend upon the chime it plays
Bm            D
They're all in the station praying for trains
A      G7
Congregation late again
Bm         D         A     G7
It's getting darker all the time these flagpole days
Em7
Drunk old soldier gives her a fright
         Gm6  F#7  Bm   F#m7  Bm F#m7 C7
He's a crazy lion howling for a fight

Bm      D
Strap hanging gunshot sound
A          G7
Doors slamming on the overground
Bm      D       A            G7
Starling are tough but the lions are made of stone
Bm         D
Her evening paper is horror torn
A           G7
But there's hope later for Capricorns
Bm         D     A      G7
Her lucky gives her just enough to get her home
Em7
The she's reading about a swing to the right
              Gm6   F#7   Bm  F#m7  G
But she's thinking about a stranger in the night
            A       G
I'm thinking about the lions tonight
          A       G
Thinking about the lions tonight
           A   G
What happened to the lions
    Bm A
To the lions
    Bm A
To the lions
    Bm A
To the lions
    Bm A
To the lions
A
Thinking about the lions
