tiger in a spotlight

bass - playing in my face - grabbin' the elastic

drums - listen here she comes - hammerin' the plastic

keys - i play 'em all with ease - freeze! your shakin' at the knees

you're doin' somethin' drastic - chasin' the fantastic. to dine with tigers in the sky

but did you ever stop to wonder why?

man - living in a can - skippin' with a suit-case

frail - living in a gale - slipping on a blue face

claws - are scratching at the doors - pause: if you don't lose your oars

you're trippin' on a shoe lace - racin' to each new place. to screw your shadow in the sky

but did you ever stop to wonder why?

sun - help me when i run - bleedin' from the moonlight

nurse - help me with a verse - i need to sing the tune right

days - i wasted in the maze - raise your eyes above the ways

to keep a silver spoon bright - fly up to balloon height. to ride the spotlight in the sky

but did you ever stop to wonder why?
