Ballad For My Little Hyena - Afterhours

Your chauffeur-driver man

Only got one hand

That he steers around the visions

You think that your command

On your patch of ground

Small hyenas prowl

It is just expedience

That keeps the sun going

Round and round

Little sweet hyenas

Conveniently tame

Bittersweet hyenas

Never far away

Love leaves you alone

Then pain will come for sure

When your friends and foes will tell ya

You ain’t dangerous no more

Your head is filling up

Can’t concentrate on much

Wrap your arms around the one thing

You can never touch

The lust for something clean

What then can it mean

A killer so afraid of dying

And baby, you don’t wanna die near…

Little sweet hyenas

Never far away

Bittersweet hyenas

Conveniently tame

You just can’t forget

Who your lips have met

Though you fell some premonition

It’s you that can’t connect

Your head is filling too

'till you can’t think it through

To know that everyone around

Keeps breathing without you

You stole some absolution

From things you’ve gone and done

A killer so afraid of dying

'cause baby, you don’t wanna die near

Little sweet hyenas

Never far away

Bittersweet hyenas

Conveniently tame

Little sweet hyenas

Never far away

Bittersweet hyenas

Conveniently tame
