CousCous - Paper Tiger lyrics

Here's what I thought I don't mean to pry but You're looking out of shape You're thinking for hours The tighter you hold on The more it slips away But apart from all of that It turned out as it was planned Relaxed and content, you buy a big house Even take your shoes off in the sand It pulls you down It shakes your bones Sending shivers down your spine It lets you wake up in the night I tell you it's a Paper tiger Sitting in the back of your mind Paper tiger Whistling, giggling and wondering What's there to find Confused, worried You are so done And you're getting good at that The mind games are on You realize you just play them too well But apart from all that You recognize it's a safe bet Relaxed and content, you cannot complain Apart from this, apart from that It turns you down and into someone Who has seen a lot of that Like a ball and chain it drags you down I tell you it's a Paper tiger Sitting in the Backseat of the car Paper tiger Whistling, giggling and wondering How strange you are All this time You have been fighting This daily grind Trying not to fold And running in circles Won't change anything in your mind Paper tiger Paper tiger Paper tiger
