text: 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
  Im a runaway from the record biz
  From the hoods in the hood and the whiny white kids
  Boring, the old man is snoring
  And Im taming the tiger
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  Nice, kitty kitty
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  Sophia says Its hard to catch
  And harder still to ride
  The time to watch the beast the best
  Is when its purring at your side
  Purring at your side
  Accolades and honors
  One false move and youre a goner
  Boring, the old man is snoring
  And Im taming the tiger
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  Nice, kitty kitty
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  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
  Im so sick of this game
  Its hip, its hot
  Lifes too short, the whole things gotten
  Boring, the old man is snoring
  And Im taming the tiger
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  Nice, kitty kitty
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  Oh, be nice, kitty kitty
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  Nice, kitty kitty
  Tiger, tiger burning bright
  In the forest of the night
