Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Tiger In A Spotlight Lyrics
(Emerson, Lake, Palmer, Sinfield)Bass - playing in my face - grabbin' the elasticDrums - listen here she comes - hammerin' the plasticKeys - I play 'em all with ease - Freeze! Your shakin' at the kneesYou're doin' somethin' drastic - chasin' the fantastic...To dine with tigers in the skyBut did you ever stop to wonder why?Man - living in a can - skippin' with a suit-caseFrail - living in a gale - slipping on a blue faceClaws - are scratching at the doors - Pause: If you don't lose your oarsYou're trippin' on a shoe lace - racin' to each new place...To screw your shadow in the skyBut did you ever stop to wonder why?Sun - help me when I run - bleedin' from the moonlightNurse - help me with a verse - I need to sing the tune rightDays - I wasted in the maze - Raise your eyes above the waysTo keep a silver spoon bright - fly up to balloon height...To ride the spotlight in the skyBut did you ever stop to wonder why?
