The Flaming Lips - Tiger Dreams lyrics

[Verse 1] The first impulse to violence is probably right The second impulse to stop it is probably wrong Why do people only show forgiveness When they want some pull in the sun? So I keep tryin' to understand where we are goin' I keep searchin' for some meanin' in my dreams And I'm dreamin' of bein' eaten by tigers While the sparrows start to sing in a tree [Chorus] And we always end up singin' the same song They remind us of the cool sh** in the world But they also remind us we are dying That's why we want to sing even more [Verse 2] I don't think we got where we were goin' I had a dream that we were in a weird sky Why do people let their dreams Be somethin' so bad? Such a weird f**in' dream Flyin' around into the sky like superman Changing tigers and your arrows land sparrows Those religious f**s will never understand [Chorus] And we always end up singin' the same song They remind us of the cool sh** in the world Maybe it wasn't a dream I can't really tell anymore [Outro] And we always end up singin' the same song Cause we always end up singin' the same song Helps us to forget that we were wrong And we always end up singin' the same song And we always end up singin' the same song< Helps us to forget that we were wrong
