Tiger in a Spotlight

作词 : Carl Palmer/Greg Lake/Peter Sinfield

作曲 : Keith Emerson

(Emerson, Lake, Palmer, Sinfield)

Bass - playing in my face - grabbin' the elastic

Drums - listen here she comes - hammerin' the plastic

Keys - I play 'em all with ease -

Freeze! Your shakin' at the knees

You're doin' somethin' drastic - chasin' the fantastic...

To dine with tigers in the sky

But did you ever stop to wonder why?

Man - living in a can - skippin' with a suit-case

Frail - living in a gale - slipping on a blue face

Claws - are scratching at the doors -

Pause: If you don't lose your oars

You're trippin' on a shoe lace - racin' to each new place...

To screw your shadow in the sky

But did you ever stop to wonder why?

Sun - help me when

I run - bleedin' from the moonlight

Nurse - help me with a verse -

I need to sing the tune right

Days - I wasted in the maze -

Raise your eyes above the ways

To keep a silver spoon bright - fly up to balloon height...

To ride the spotlight in the sky

But did you ever stop to wonder why?
