Tiger

Alarm clock’s ringing
And it’s off to the races
Gotta make a decent breakfast
Gotta find a parking space
And now the boss is in here early
Gotta look him in the eye
Gotta make it all look easy
Never let him see me try

For once in my life
I wanna have too much to drink
For once in my life
I wanna tell ‘em what I think
Tongue between my teeth
Taste of iron in my mouth
Iron in my mouth, can’t let it out

I’ve got a tiger by the toe
Even if he hollers, won’t let go
Won’t let go, even if he hollers

Never met my neighbor
And I’ve been here seven years
If I died tonight, would anybody care
Wonder if my ex- would answer
I don’t want to be alone
I could blow my life up
Just by picking up the phone

For once in my life I wanna cut and run
For once in my life I wanna have a little fun
If nobody can see me Then no one’s gonna know
No one’s gonna know No one’s gonna know

Oh go on, go on
So go on, come on
So go on, I dare you
Make my day
Give me one more reason
I’m just one reason away
