Down Tiger Down Tiger

Down tiger down tiger
All the world is waiting for you to open your eyes
Down tiger down tiger
All the world is taking the sun away from African skies

And you fear the weight of the world is bringing you down
And you fear the life you once loved is so deep in the ground
And you know that it’s only for a while

Down tiger down tiger
All the world is waiting for you to hang from a tree
Down tiger down tiger
When the dirt and flowers cover your bed, that’s when you’ll be free

And you know that it’s so easy to sleep on the African plain
And you know on warm afternoons when it’s starting to rain
Now it’s only going to happen for a while

And you know
And you know
And you know
