Tigers Lyrics by Rickie Lee Jones

Tigers Lyrics

    The tigers come at four
    Shaped like the curtain and the floor
    Like the stars they once were wild and cold

    Your turn to see me
    I can’t believe its really you
    Sharpening your teeth on my low womb

    Playing with tigers
    Chasing the lampshade with my toes
    Playing with tigers
    ‘til i find out where it goes

    You check your clothes
    You come and lay with me a while
    In the theater of dream
    We are sleeping in the aisle
    Wind climbs up the brick
    Carrying brightly colored ghosts
    They play on you with
    The light from the street below

    Playing with tigers
    Chasing the lamp with my toes
    Playing with tigers
    Until i find out where it goes

    Where it goes, where it goes
    I tried to leave you
    But you sent all the cars to bring me back
    Tigers are falling like paper on our parade
    Tigers, tigers.
    And the mail blowing out of the mailbox
    Down the street, yeah yeah
    Tigers.

    I can't tell you anymore than that.
    I'll tell you tomorrow when the train comes.
    Tomorrow when the train comes
