Mouth of a Tiger

歌詞

I'm worth five bucks or less The future's down my neck My restless soul takes stride Far across this great divide I won't heed its cry Won't follow its lifeline It's time to sink or swim Sail alone or anchor in I'm funny like a nameless fool I'm as lucky as a funeral I've got cliches to write I get high as a kite My dreams force me to wake Find meaning to this day Burned away into the night Grabbed me with the reason why I'm sick with the TV on It drones in the lonely dawn I'm funny like a nameless fool I'm not looking at a glass half-full I'm tired of the same old pace I hate this same old day How easily I fill this space Handed down from the same old place I fade with the old street lights I bark with the dogs at night When the moon is full and bright It smiles in the alleys' eyes Pin me up with the stars tonight I've been looking for a place to shine One day it'll be my time I'm not waiting for the bells to chime I'll break like a traffic jam I'll sing like a slaughtered lamb Upside-down like an hourglass I've been waiting for the sands to pass But the storm keeps rolling in Sharp teeth are the howling wind I'm like a penny in a fountain, thrown From a woman to some poem unknown I'm funny like an aimless fool I'm as lucky as a funeral Now the world seems so clear As it disappears In the blink of a frozen eye In the course of an hour gone by One day my star will rise A new path will open wide Like the mouth of a tiger I will swallow all my pride I'm funny like an aimless fool I'm not looking at a glass half-full I'm tired of the same old pace How easily I fill this space
