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 too destroy. Loathsome smile head full of forever’s. Will tomorrow bring some perfection. The zoos been overrun in Baghdad. Tiger’s claws still in my back. Oh so send away the tigers. Because we’re lonely and we’re desperate. Oh so send away the tigers. Because they’re creeping up and dangerous. I’ve got problems I’ve got too many of them.

Oh so send away the tigers. Because we’re lonely and we’re desperate. Oh so send away the tigers. Because they’re creeping up and dangerous
