Tiger Years

The heart breaks when the miss takes
When the pump fakes for the sea snakes
And the earth it quakes like the tooth that aches
When the cup it cakes to the bone unmakes,
There’s a hole in my tooth
In my heart and it aches
And the grass it sways when you leap this way.
Living out my fears,
Living in my tiger years.

Oh my oh me oh me oh my
such fearful symmetry.

My diatribe to those lidless eyes
As the feline guise tenses up its thighs
Should I trust a hunch?
Slightest rustle in the branch, I hear you’re near,
Up above my head it’s too late to steer clear,
Living out my fears,
Living in my tiger years.
Living in my tiger years

Like on Manimal I’m an animal,
Any bird or mammal, osprey to camel,
Living out my fears,
Living in my tiger years.
Living in my tiger years

Oh like on Noah’s boat I’m an antelope,
I’m the herbivore that you hunger for,
Got no knife and fork just those teeth that work,
I’m a roasted goat and you’re the fire that goes
Burning through the tears
Living in my tiger years.
Living out my fears,
Living in my tiger years.

Like on Manimal I’m an animal
But could never hold a candle to the savage creature’s plight
In the forest of the night,
All I see are eyes full of fierce light
Living out my fears,
Living in these tiger years.
