A friend of mine woke me up
|
to tell me about his dream
|
All the lights in the world went black
|
He felt like a tiger in a burning tree
|
It was like he was late for something
|
That he did not want to see
|
His life looked better on paper
|
He lived like a tiger in a burning tree
|
Blow out the candles and make a wish
|
I heard about a woman from a city in the south
|
She lost her god when the bottom fell out
|
She sold her life to the deep blue see
|
She left a message for the world to see
|
She knows now what it’s like to be
|
A tiger in a burning tree
|
Close your eyes and take a big deep breath
|
Blow out the candles and make a wish
|
When I was a child I painted my toys
|
Angel blue and devil read
|
I broke them into pieces, set them on fire
|
And shoved them under my bed
|
I never learned how to play nice
|
With all the other kids
|
I never learned how to draw inside the lines
|
And probably never will
|
Close your eyes and take a big deep breath
|
Imagine a world so much better than this
|
Now close your eyes and jump to a place your afraid to be
|
And you can tell me what it feels like
|
To be a tiger in a burning tree
|
