Tiger In A Spotlight testo

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?
