White Tiger

(album: Rocking Horse - 2021)

Nobody touch me like you do
No, nobody touch me like you
Nobody feel me like you do
No, nobody feel me like you

Join me in the kitchen for a cigarette now
Let me tell you about the years I spent in Spain
Long ago I had your young blood, I was old before that
Then I met the second man that teach me pain

Violets are blue
Life is blood and greed
Candles burning out on Christmas Eve

He put a white wild tiger in my vein
And then the dragon stole and sold my name
And I'll never get it back but slowly color's coming through
But the night is clear and who have I to blame
(Oi oi oi oi oi oi)

Be careful with your teeth, my little sparrow
Just be careful who you let into your home
Yeah we are all about chemicals and love is delicate
So, what is human, it will die if all alone

Oh, violets are blue
Life is blood and greed
Candles burning out on Christmas Eve

He put a white, wild tiger in my vein
And then the dragon stole and sold my name
And I never get it back, but slowly color's coming through
But the night is clear and who have I to blame

Outside the window, snow is falling
Paint the city all white
And the bars are filling up with drinkers crying inside
But I will stay right here and listen to you all night
Just sing your songs about you longing to be free

'Cause Violets are blue
Christmas nights are long
And still our candle lights are burning strong

He put a white, wild tiger in her vein
And then the dragon stole and sold her name
But she'll never get it back, but slowly color's coming through
But the night is clear and no one is to blame

He let a wild, wild tiger through her soul
And time is just among the many things he stole
And she'll never get it back, but slowly color's coming through
But the night is clear, and who for is to blame (Who's to blame)

Yeah, we'll never get her back but sometimes color's shining through
But the night is clear, she'll never be the same
Yeah, we'll never get her back but sometimes color's shining through
But the night is clear, she'll never be the same
