about
Tiger's Mask
lyrics
Put on your Tiger's mask
Go out and make a mess
You've got permission baby
To do your best
... Take off your comfortable shoes
Put on someone else's blues
Move through the jungle of innocents
and find yourself the weak ones
You've got control of the gathering of fools
drink from the river and sharpen your tools
and even though this idiot might dare to ask
No one knows who you are when you're wearing a Tiger's Mask
Ask the goat sitting next to you to buy you a drink
touch his leg, make him hope
and then show him your teeth
Hold up his broken body
so everyone can see
The wild queen and the Shattered King
and let them hear you sing
I've got control of this gathering of fools
I drank from the river and I sharpened all my tools
and even though this idiot dared to ask
none of you will ever know whose wearing this Tiger's Mask
Light a fire with that look in your eyes
Let them see you in your stolen space of surprise
Dart through the innocents with someone else's blues
and find yourself the weak ones and carve them with your tools
and the blood will fly
and the blood will fly
and the fools will die
and the fools will die
and your power will be a fact
and don't worry, don't you worry
no one's ever gonna know
no one ever sees the tears when you're
wearing a Tigers Mask
Go out and make a mess
You've got permission baby
To do your best
... Take off your comfortable shoes
Put on someone else's blues
Move through the jungle of innocents
and find yourself the weak ones
You've got control of the gathering of fools
drink from the river and sharpen your tools
and even though this idiot might dare to ask
No one knows who you are when you're wearing a Tiger's Mask
Ask the goat sitting next to you to buy you a drink
touch his leg, make him hope
and then show him your teeth
Hold up his broken body
so everyone can see
The wild queen and the Shattered King
and let them hear you sing
I've got control of this gathering of fools
I drank from the river and I sharpened all my tools
and even though this idiot dared to ask
none of you will ever know whose wearing this Tiger's Mask
Light a fire with that look in your eyes
Let them see you in your stolen space of surprise
Dart through the innocents with someone else's blues
and find yourself the weak ones and carve them with your tools
and the blood will fly
and the blood will fly
and the fools will die
and the fools will die
and your power will be a fact
and don't worry, don't you worry
no one's ever gonna know
no one ever sees the tears when you're
wearing a Tigers Mask
