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 |
