The Tigers

I drink to keep the tiger away
I sail my boat across the bay
I do what I can to get through the day
I drink to keep the tigers away
my new car is gold and gray
she always smiles
I always pay
I feel like hell but I look okay
I drink to keep the tigers away
{the tunnel at the end of the light
the tunnel at the end of the light}
I float above the bar like a Manta ray
I always hoped I'd end up this way
I love the music but I hate the pay
I drink to keep the tigers away
my only girl is a bird of prey
I think she works for the C.I.A
get me another beer, I think I'll stay
I drink to keep the tigers away
{the tunnel at the end of the light
the tunnel at the end of the light}
