lyrics

I'm getting up before this begins
These little games that I never win
Kiss me sweet, the reason shoots through open doors in front of me
And then at night it wants let back in

She isn't home until she's in bed
Sine qua non - no word left unsaid
Kiss me sweet, she says the stories here could pave the streets
I sighs heavy to deny her
Kiss me sweet, the teeth to draw this bitter blood from me
You'll turn into a tiger
You'll turn into a tiger

An olive branch grew from my empty head
You took a chance to chew on all that I said
Kiss me sweet, your instinct stops before you understand
And leaves the rest to fire
Kiss me sweet, and think of fifty ways to skin your man
You'll turn into a tiger
I love my lady tiger

Oh you understand enough brag
There's motion ahead of the ridge
I'm caught up in air with a circle of birds and your grin

And when you rest, I will sleep next to you
When you wake, I'll rub my eyes next to you
And when you run, I will run after you
We'll hunt for demons

Another swell
And the man outside is gone again
He was staring stepping up on every little thing
And the song was on the ropes
In the morning I was so afraid too sick to sing
And I guarded my front door with an iron pan
Then I saw the tail beyond the gate begin to swing
And the happy horror left of the man

Tiger calls to me among the demon's bloodied limbs
Tiger comes to me with boiling eyes
Tiger sings my soul can finally be born again
Tiger stalks me till my mouth is dry
Tiger grips my chest to give my breath back to the wind
And the secrets I've been keeping
She's says, "Nothing worth repeating,
Quiet while I'm eating."

What did your troubles say, little one?
What made you turn away, little one?
I leave the rest for you, little one
I saved the best for you, my little one.

Kisses sweet from lips forever stained with empathy
