Drunken Danger

Maybe it was 
The broken glass and cigarettes 
Maybe it was
The warning on the wall
Maybe it was 
A careful calculation
Between my body and my thoughts
A distant determined lioness
cleaning off her paws
Another bad decision
To walk my way around the law
If there's something I can make of this
From what I can recall
It's that lions don't know how to play
Just when I thought I've heard it all
