In Vain lyrics

Well just the other day

While alone in my room

I said to myself

I need something new

I've cut a new life slice

And feed the lions twice

And they'll shake their mains

In confusion

My love, my love's in vain

My love

Put a bet on everything

It'll come up fine

My fingers are crossed

And tapping in time

You got a pretty face

Such a pretty pretty face

You can brush your own mane

Fame is your pain

My love, my love's in vain

My love

Maybe an older woman will

Show me a way to

Ease those creases and

Crave no reason cause

Reasons are with gods

There's a heaven within me

But we all shake our manes

In confusion

Should I grab you by the collar?

Or just go my way

With a knife between my

Clean white teeth?

Don't want your feather in my cap

Don't care about that

You can fuck your own mane

Fame is your pain

My love, my love's in vain

My love
