Joni Mitchell - Taming The Tiger lyrics

Your rating:

I stepped outside to breathe the air

And stare up at the stars

Big dipper hanging there

Over the rented car

Over the rented car

I'm a runaway from the record biz

From the hoods in the hood and the whiny white kids

Boring!

The old man is snoring

And I'm taming the tiger

(You can't tame the tiger)

Tiger, tiger burning bright

Nice, kitty kitty

Tiger, tiger burning bright



Sophia says "It's hard to catch

And harder still to ride

The time to watch the beast the best

Is when it's purring at your side"

Purring at your side

Accolades and honors

One false move and you're a goner

Boring!

The old man is snoring

And I'm taming the tiger

(You can't tame the tiger)

Tiger, tiger burning bright

Nice, kitty kitty

Tiger, tiger burning bright

In the forest of the night



The moon shed light

On my hopeless plight

As the radio blared so bland

Every disc, a poker chip

Every song just a one night stand

Formula music, girly guile

Genuine junkfood for juveniles

Up and down the dial

Mercenary style



I watched the stars chuck down their spears

And a plane went blinking by

And I thought of Anna

Wild and dear

Like fireworks in the sky

Fireworks in the sky

I'm so sick of this game

It's hip, it's hot

Life's too short, the whole thing's gotten

Boring!

The old man is snoring

And I'm taming the tiger

(You can't tame the tiger)

Tiger, tiger burning bright

Nice, kitty kitty

(Boring!)

Tiger, tiger burning bright

(You can't tame the tiger)

Oh, be nice, kitty kitty

(Boring!)

Tiger, tiger burning bright

Nice, kitty kitty

(Boring, boring!)

Tiger, tiger burning bright

(Fight to the light, fight to the light)

In the forest of the night
