Lyrics
Tigers
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.
I caught you streaking in your Birkenstocks
A scary thought in the two K's
It's not too late
It's in two days
Got enveloped in your sticker shock
I gotta' tell ya', it's a barrage, it's a barrage
It's a mirage
We are the tigers
We need separate rooms
We are so divided
Let us in
Change is all we need to improve
Call me petty, I mean every word
The "and's", the "if's", the "but's", and the "the's"
Trust me because I'm worth hating
I'm a 1-800-you can bend
A garden variety amends
Who's he can bend
It's a learned mirror
We are the tigers
We need separate rooms
We are so divided
Let us in
Change is all we need to improve
Hard to believe I never had a spleen
Never had a spleen
Never had a dream
(?) is your favorite steal
