There’s no hope in the colonies So catch yourself a lifeline Things have gone wrong too many times So catch yourself a slow boat to China
Fixing some holes from the tiger’s claws All your tears will be trembling Stick those teeth into my back Seasonal beasts, keep them at bay
Can’t something go right Little things change people’s lives Hostile words won’t fill your eyes Same noise, left to destroy
Loathsome smile, head full of forever’s Will tomorrow bring some perfection The zoo's been overrun in Baghdad Tiger’s claws still in my back
So send away the tigers Because we’re lonely and we’re desperate So send away the tigers Because they’re creeping up and dangerous
I’ve got problems, I’ve got too many of them Throw away your yesterdays, I did it all for you Blank horizons and hotel rooms Cheap whiskey and god-awful truths Look at me I’m honest and I’m free I was born to underachieve
