Richter - The Tiger & Me

The boy lit a match to start a fire

In the heart of the one that he desired, oh

And waited for the world to come to see

Sung from the side of a dirty smile

Couldn’t keep it quiet for half that time, oh

Drifter count the coins to pay

Life was never meant this way, oh!

(Open up the door and let us in)

I only got so far left to go

(Every night the voices tell you this)

It’s not about the fortune of the bold

And that lie’s getting old

Run from the light that’s in her eye

Stick it in the heart of every night, oh

Drifter count the coins to pay

In severance you go your way

As I step upon the road to take us down

(Open up the door and let us in)

I’ve only got so far left to go

(Every night the voices tell you this)

As I call upon them all to take you home

Where you’ll never have to leave, believe me now

The Richter slipped her half a pill

Said, darling, you are ill

Oh I could take the pain away

In one of seven ways:

The first will hurt, the second worse

And three to six aren’t named

The seventh lies between your legs

And I will do the same
