I want to ride the tiger
i want to ride the tiger
it will be black and white in the dead of night
eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
i want to ride the tiger.
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
tell you about salt, carbon and water
but a tear to a chinese man
he'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and
a woman.
I want to ride the tiger
i want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you
we got something to learn from the other side
something to give, we got nothing to hide
i want to ride the tiger.
Black wants out of the streets
yellow wants the country
red wants the country back
and white wants out of this world
sing - sing to the sky
i want to ride the tiger
i want to ride the tiger.
Look to the summer of seventy-five
all the world is gonna come alive
do you want to ride the tiger?
It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
tell you about salt, carbon and water
but a tear to an oriental man
he'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and
a woman.
