Song: The Tiger On The Wall

The tiger on the wall stares with open golden eyes
as the television news tells us yet another story
of the world that's built on hope that meets the world that's ruled by fear
And no-one knows it better than the tiger on the wall

The tiger on the wall hears with frozen twitching ears
as the scent of roses blooming fills the air outside the doorway
of the house we built to hide us from the world we thought we ruled
And no-one knows it better than the tiger on the wall

The tiger on the wall walks on hidden painted paws
as the sunlight fills the room through the closed and shaded window
on the ground floor in the bedroom in a town we don't quite understand
And no-one knows it better than the tiger on the wall

The tiger on the wall twitches tail and sniffs the air
filled with people filled with longing and with pride and hope and fear
of the self they might remember when they allow themselves some time to think
And no-one knows it better than the tiger on the wall

The tiger on the wall never moves while on the hunt
as the sofa fills with people who just want a little rest
From the day they still remember and the days to come they might forget
And no-one knows it better than the tiger on the wall

The tiger on the wall never speaks but always hears
as he paces in the confines of his small hand-painted picture
where the grass is always greener but the hunt is never to be found
And no-one knows it better than the tiger on the wall
