Tiger in a Spotlight — текст песни (Emerson, Lake and Palmer)

(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
You`re 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 don`t lose your oars
You`re 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
Nurse - help me with a verse - I need to sing the tune right
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?
