**|VERSE lyrics|**

I buried my heart in a hole in the ground  (example: Chord diagramA#A# Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramG+G)
With the lights and the roses and the cowards down-town
They threw me a party there was no one around
They tried to call my girl but she could not be found

I buried my guilt in a pit in the sound
With the rust and the vultures and the trash down-town
So don't step to me, kid you'll never be found
'Cos while you were sleeping I took over your town (Chord diagramG+G is maintained until PRE-CHORUS - 1:16)

**|FINAL CHORUS lyrics|**

When I see a man I see a lion
When I see a man I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye of my eye of my eye
You're the apple of my eye of my I want 'ya
I give up my money give up my name take it away
I give it away I give it away I give it
I'm a sycophantic animal, I'm a sycophant oh no, I'm a sycophantic oh I know,
Break through the chain, I'm breaking the chain I'm breaking
Give it away, give it away, I give it
When I see a man I see a lion
When I see a man I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye of my eye of my eye
You're the apple of my eye of my I want 'ya
Give up my money, give up my name, take it away
I give it away I give it away I give it
See you again I see you again I see ya
Give it away, I give it away, I give it
[unintelligible]
When I see a man I see a lion
When I see a man I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye of my eye of my eye
You're the apple of my eye of my I want 'ya
