White Tiger Songtext

von Pétur Ben

My dear boy he's in
As he stumbled through the door
He looked familiar
I'd seen him somewhere before

He had unease in his eyes
As if he knew what I'd fear
And a great deal of time tangled in his ear

His fur was white as snow
His stripes a side cloth of hair
I got them down below,
Got my share down there
I've warn ya too, ya know
No reason for your fear
Just hold on to that girl or else you'll disappear

The stripes upon his back
The very ones I like lusting without measure yet he never bits yet he never bites for pleasure
My eyes
They drove into these cracks,
Of hypnotize
And black winds from the serpent calling;
Oozes from the times he's fallen

When you're fightin' wars
It's easy to forget;
Which cause you're fightin' for and no time for regret
I fought for health reasons
Slept in to see the tree
God makes use of whatever he pleases
Even an old tiger like me

The stripes upon his back
The very ones I like are lusting without measure, yet he never bits yet he never bites for pleasure
My eyes
They drove into these cracks
Of hypnotize
And black winds from the serpent calling;
Oozes from the times he's fallen

Forget
So like he's on fire
With eyes to burn and inspire
Shadows of affection
In the my reflection
Say you'll get through this just you wait and see
(Simultaneously)
Say you'll get through this / Just you wait and see

Take it from a tiger like me
Take it from a tiger like me
Take it from a tiger like me
