The tiger waits in the bushes by the lake,
But I'll never tear you apart.
With a love so pure, our knees will shake
And tremble.
There were tracks in the silt where the stream becomes still
...but I'll never rip out your heart.
You're such a gentle a beast-
Oh you never got tough,
Like I got tough.
Like I got tough.
The faces in the window -
Oh, they're just my friends.
I promise I won't let them in.
Oh, they live in the corn,
Where they die and they're born -
Where the blades go around,
Churn up the ground
To open the over-toild soil.
Ooooooooo baby.
Ooooooooo baby.
Ooooooooo babe.
Slashed 'cross the back,
Your spine almost snapped.
I put three bullets in its face,
And I hung it from a tree,
For the other ones to see
What happens if
You mess with me.
