Year Of The Tiger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I was young
Coach called me the tiger
(Oh America, can I owe you one)
I always had
A knack with the danger
(Oh America, can I owe you one)
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Italian shoes
Like these rubes know the difference
Suitcase of cash
In the back of my stick shift
I had to be the best of the bourgeoisie
Now my kingdom for a cup of coffee
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Oh America
Can I owe you one
Oh America
Can I owe you one
Oh America
Can I owe you one
Oh America
Can I owe you one
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
Living in fear in the year of the tiger
