Lean Lyrics

"Leeza, show them your doll"

A tiny face up on the balcony

Of a capuchin

I wonder what happened after the fed-up remaining staff all stormed in

Was she free of her master, released?

Or handed to a kinder custodian at least?



Nonetheless upon the sight of her

Your group sped off

Leaving behind

A doomed lord looking down from the top



Jessie, I still can't stand hearing the truth

Let's have one more about other countries

I know you have to get up early

But it's what I need



Wish I could have caught

The expression of the captain

Upon waiting for the ship hand with whom he, through email, corresponded

Only to see you pull the truck door open and

Reach out to shake his hand



Jessie

Can I crash here with you tonight?

I know my contribution's been lean

Woman, love follows where you've been

Your legs can take it just a few more times



I know it isn't fair

Stories struggle for air

And I need yours

More than ever



(Climb one more mountain for me, woman)
