(Long Musical intro) (Verse 1) You came in with those piercing blue eyes Like a two sided blade basking in the reflecting sun I held on to the old rickety picket fence Then the main gate popped and became undone Your paws are now planted firmly on the bedroom floor My name is engrained into your pearl like teeth The whole room shakes like never before When you inhale and breathe…….oh yes when you inhale and breathe (Pre-Chorus) I should've known By the scar on your chin You don't ask twice You just hop right in My knees are feeling weak But my mouth says come Hit me with your best baby Yeah, here I am to get some (Chorus) Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger Hold on tight and don't let go Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger If I fall, I’ll certainly let you know Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger I was born for the awe of the afterglow Ride the tiger Ride the tiger (Verse 2) You messed-up all of my calculation sheets And you left behind an obvious claw mark design I was counting on my good fortunes and luck But for now, it's just one day of living at a time Your heart beats are deliberately slow Like a drum stuck in an enclosed cage And I like the mystery and the unknown danger That you bring to the forefront of the stage (Pre-Chorus) I should've known By the scar on your chin You don't ask twice You just hop right in My knees are feeling weak But my mouth says come Hit me with your best baby Yeah, here I am to get some (Chorus) Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger Hold on tight and don't let go Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger If I fall, I’ll certainly let you know Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger I was born for the awe of the afterglow Ride the tiger Ride the tiger (Verse 3) One disorienting camera flash, then another A black leather whip snapped with a giant crack Everything is fine for now because we're back on track You look directly through me And I stare at you right back All cylinders are firing and ready for the attack No tears expressed at all and a lack of fears Just simply means we arrived and that we’re both here (Pre-Chorus) I should've known By the scar on your chin You don't ask twice You just hop right in My knees are feeling weak But my mouth says come Hit me with your best baby Yeah, here I am to get some (Chorus) Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger Hold on tight and don't let go Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger If I fall, I’ll certainly let you know Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger I was born for the awe of the afterglow Ride the tiger Ride the tiger (Verse 4) (Tape stop) I should've already known When you leaned into me up-close and near I took just one single step to the right And you ended up walking into my rear My hands are shaking like a falling leaf in the autumn wind But I don't hide, cower or run Oh no…..especially not tonight honey I’m ready to enjoy some playtime and extracurricular fun (Pre-Chorus) I should've known By the scar on your chin You don't ask twice You just hop right in My knees are feeling weak But my mouth says come Hit me with your best baby Yeah, here I am to get some (Long Musical Solos) (Chorus) Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger Hold on tight and don't let go Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger If I fall, I’ll certainly let you know Ride The Tiger Ride The Tiger I was born for the awe of the afterglow Ride the tiger Ride the tiger
