the future holds a lion s heart

Darren Hayes

When I first escaped the city of York
And leapt out of this cage
No silicon chip could sublimate
Or tame this temptuous rage

When my heart was in the attic
Like the picture of Dorian Gray
I was rescued by the enemy
That dare not speak it's name

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
Giddyup!

When I left the warm surroundings
Of my selfish difficult stage
When our eyes first met there was deja-vu
And a feeling I could not shake

Then gravity seduced me
And drew me to this place
I could swear we were together
In an entirely different age

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same

So wonderfully good looking
With fine and delicate lines
If I place this face in carbon freeze
It will never be affected by time

She said "Don't confuse your beauty
With the insolence of youth.
You can move through time in one direction.
Sad but it's the truth"

But it took so long to meet you
But it took so long to meet you
It took so long to meet you

It's time to go
It's time to leave
You should never have come

Get back to the craft
Get back to your age
Take somebody with you
Giddyup!

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same

Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
