All the poems of my neighbours That drift across the sand Are just the tendrils Of a vast But gentle plant which they command The headdress of a goddess You wore the night we came Is only one small symptom And really not to blame You're riding a tiger Riding a tiger Heaven sent the mortals Raged upon the wall And likewise all the missiles Shot to make them fall Effortlessly moving Picture into frame Riding a tiger (You're) Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Over the beaches Into the sky Into the reach of some Last goodbye Key grip was crying Best boy was made Here in the shelter No one afraid We were there Follow the road That leads to the sun Look for the leader He is the one Who will Offer the silence You must beware Using the danger No one can share Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Out of the morning Into the day On to the evening No where to stay We were Always together Always the same Into the future No one to blame Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Riding a tiger Riding a tiger
