[Lyrics for Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Tiger In A Spotlight]
(Emerson, Lake, Palmer, Sinfield)
Bass – playing in my face – grabbin the elastic
Drums – listen here she comes – hammerin the plastic
Keys – I play em all with ease – Freeze! Your shakin at the knees
Youre doin somethin drastic – chasin the fantastic…
To dine with tigers in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
Man – living in a can – skippin with a suit-case
Frail – living in a gale – slipping on a blue face
Claws – are scratching at the doors – Pause: If you dont lose your oars
Youre trippin on a shoe lace – racin to each new place…
To screw your shadow in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
Sun – help me when I run – bleedin from the moonlight
Days – I wasted in the maze – Raise your eyes above the ways
To keep a silver spoon bright – fly up to balloon height…
To ride the spotlight in the sky
But did you ever stop to wonder why?
