Life On a Film Set

All the poems of my neighbors
That drift across the sand
Are just the tindrels of a vast
But gentle plant which they command
The headdress of a goddess
You wore the night we came
Is only one small symptom
And really not to blame
You're riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Heaven send immortals
Waged upon the wall
And light wires all the missiles
Shot to make them fall
Everlasting movie
Picture into frame
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
All of the beaches
Into the sky
Into the bleach of sunglass goodbye
Key grip was crying
This boy was made
Here in the shelter
Whole want afraid
We were there
Follow the road that leads to the sun
Who formed our leader he is the one
Who will offer the silence
You must beware
Using the page that no one can share
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Out of the morning
Into the day
Onto the evening
Nowhere to stay
We were always together
Always the same
Into the future
Noone to blame
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
Riding a tiger
