Paper Tiger

(album: Need To Know - 2015)

Call me if you want, please call me if you're able.
It's better this way, lay it all out on the table.
You're a work of fiction, a slight of hand.
Acting like a lion laying with the land.
They say my seeds won't grow unless I tend the land.
Now watch my seeds they grow.

I'm not some paper tiger.
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire.
The other boys, they've got no desire.
They're just lazy boys.

I'm not some paper tiger.
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire.
The other boys, they've got no desire.
They're just lazy boys.

You ever get tired, of giving all the reasons.
But bury you're head amidst the changing of the seasons.
We're more than dust and change in tide.
I know it's hard to trust when a loved one dies
Eyes dry out if you never cry, oh you're eyes dried out.

I'm not some paper tiger.
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire.
The other boys, they've got no desire.
They're just lazy boys.

I'm not some paper tiger.
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire.
The other boys, they've got no desire.
They're just lazy boys.

Good bad and in-between.
Says things that we don't mean.
It's cold 'gainst our naked skin.
Scared but we learn to swim.

Young love and their sweet caress.
Heart beating out your chest.
The crowd of our baby born.
All things we're fighting for.

I'm not some paper tiger.
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire.
The other boys, they've got no desire.
They're just lazy boys.

I'm not some paper tiger.
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire.
The other boys, they've got no desire.
They're just lazy boys.

I'm not some paper tiger.
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire.
The other boys, they've got no desire.
They're just lazy boys.

I'm not some paper tiger.
