lyrics
Rope off the tigers
They’ll spill the tea
Their roaring upsets
Congeniality
Punish the wait staff
My breath’s the breeze
Turn your face towards
The filament of the East
My hope lashed to the lash-tower
Floating and free
Cracked caresses of a black storm
Alone in calamity
Rope off the tigers
They’ve drunk the tea
“Lash down that crate, man
You’ll spill the cream”
It dripped from the mist fronds
Of Galilee
No more light trading
No more green feasts
Rope off the tigers
A whim of my liege
Their wildness is soaring
They’re on bad E
Their wicked slobber
Has infected me
I’ll crawl to the doctor
And suss out his sleaze
My hope lashed to the lash-tower
Such things as birds borne on the breeze
Danced and twirled as the sun beaconed strength
Employees in the mangrove maze
Unhinged with hospitality
Rope off the tigers
Their “freedom” is an affront to those who are free
Rope off the tigers
Their freedom shall surely spill your tea
