Paper Tigers |
| Keep your powder dry and warm |
| Thru the coming darkest storm |
| All the fear that’s sent your way |
| Thru your eyes you might wash away |
| When you can |
| Still your lantern’s strong and bright |
| Even thru the darkest night |
| All those paper tigers |
| All their lies they might have sold you |
| Might be wasted on |
| One so young that you’re old again |
| She walks out thru the wind and the rain uh-huh |
| They can’t give you all those things |
| No pot of gold no big brass ring |
| Stay on the road for the night has come |
| Perhaps at dawn we will be like one again |
| All those paper tigers |
| All the lies they might have been sold you |
| Might be wasted on |
| One so young that you’re old again |
| Sylvia walks out thru the wind and the rain uh-huh |
| Still the shock rips you thru every nerve |
| In the bell jar nothing can be heard |
| I would walk with you |
| I would talk with you |
| I would do anything that would get you thru |
| Draw the line for you |
| Take the fifth for you |
| I would stand on a bridge and jump off it too |
| All those paper tigers |
| All the lies they might have told you |
| Might be wasted on |
| One so young that you’re old again |
| All those paper tigers |
| All the lies your mother told you |
| Might be wasted on |
| One so young that you’re old again |
| She walks out thru the wind and the rain uh-huh |
| …Dedicated to Slyvia Plath |
