Tiger Claw

Oh, I did not see you there
With that look of great despair
What's the deal man, are you lost in self reflection?
Does it creep beneath the skin
Like a symphony within?
Several kilograms of whole wheat introspection

Shadow larking in the mist
Like an urge you can't resist
There's no room for seconds in this land of diction
I caught a tiger by the toe
But I had to let her go
She was allergic to the Minnesota snow

If I blurt the time of death (blurt the time of death)
Will it have the same effect?
I never washed behind the ears
'Cause I've been growing this for years
And if I wait around too long (wait around too long)
Someone sharp will prove me wrong
So I will dish out all the goods
Until the shark stops swimming

I took this bullet off a man
Who claimed some victims in Japan
He did not have the time for words or introductions
Such a sinister technique
The shock and awe was so complete
I found upon these spasms of our eldest generations

I had a strange and distant dream (strange and distant dream)
While I was crossing streams
(?)
I never do quite what I'm told
'Cause if you read between the lines
And in the future you might find
Close your eyes and concentrate
All of your loneliness away

I'd like to see you in my dreams
I'd like to see you in my dreams
I'd like to see you in my dreams
I'd like to see you in my dreams

Loneliness will wash your dreams away
Loneliness will wash your dreams away
Loneliness will wash your dreams away
Loneliness will wash your dreams away
