Jefferson Airplane - Ride the Tiger lyrics

rate me

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.
