Tiger In A Spotlight [Live, New Haven 1977-11-30] Songtext
von Emerson, Lake & Palmer

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?
