The Tiger & Me - Richter lyrics

[Verse 1] The boy lit a match to start a fire In the heart of the one that he desired, oh And waited for the world to come to see [Verse 2] Sung from the side of a dirty smile Couldn't keep it quiet for half that time, oh Drifter count the coins to pay Life was never meant this way, oh! [Chorus] (Open up the door and let us in) I only got so far left to go (Every night the voices tell you this) It's not about the fortune of the bold And that lie's getting old [Verse 3] Run from the light that's in her eye Stick it in the heart of every night, oh Drifter count the coins to pay In severance you go your way As I step upon the road to take us down [Chorus] (Open up the door and let us in) I've only got so far left to go (Every night the voices tell you this) As I call upon them all to take you home Where you'll never have to leave, believe me now [Bridge/Outro] The Richter slipped her half a pill Said, darling, you are ill Oh I could take the pain away In one of seven ways: The first will hurt, the second worse And three to six aren't named The seventh lies between your legs And I will do the same
