Tiger in a Burning Tree |
| A friend of mine woke me up |
| To tell me about his dream |
| All the lights in the world went black |
| He felt like a tiger in a burning tree |
| It was like he was late for something |
| That he did not want to see |
| His life looked better on paper |
| He lives like a tiger in a burning tree |
| Blow out the candles and make a wish |
| I thought about a woman from a city in the south |
| She lost her car when the bottom fell out |
| She sold her life to the deep blue sea |
| She left a message for the world to see |
| She knows better what it’s like to be |
| A tiger in a burning tree |
| Close your eyes and take a big deep breath |
| Blow out the candles and make a wish |
| When I was a child, I painted my toys |
| Angel blue and devil red |
| I broke them into pieces, set them on fire |
| And shoved them under my bed |
| I never learned how to play nice with all the other kids |
| I never learned how to draw inside the lines and probably never will |
| Close your eyes and take a big deep breath |
| Imagine a world so much better than this |
| Now close your eyes and jump to a place you would think to be |
| Then you could tell me what it feels like to be |
| A tiger in a burning tree |
