They shot the tiger on his chain
|
In a field behind the cages
|
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
|
And he lived that way forever
|
And he lived that way beside them,
|
Separate from the other tigers
|
He did not know another tiger
|
|
They shot the tiger on his chain
|
In a field behind the cages
|
He walked in circles 'til he was crazy
|
And he lived that way forever
|
And he lived that way forever
|
Just as long as he could remember
|
If he'd wanted to remember
|
|
It was the last time he had felt alive
|
When he saw that brown-haired lady
|
She fed him with a bottle as a baby
|
And he recalled her face and smile
|
They shot that tiger on his chain
|
|
They shot the tiger on his chain
|
They shot the tiger on his chain
|
They shot the tiger on his chain
|
