lyrics

The tiger's out of the jungle
you go downtown for the hides
And the wilds are a jumble of cocky cocky safari guides
Great white is out of the ocean
You come and go with the tides
Till you get sick from the motion of cocky cocky safari guides
Now I can’t help from goodness saking
Now I can't keep my hands from shaking

But the fires are out
So what're you whining about grandpa
Just put the pills in your mouth
You're your tiger now

The monster's out of the closet
Holding your hand in the waiting room
Caressing it as she gnaws it
Doctor talk to her say she can't come through
Grizzly bear's out of the forest
Shotgun in your Subaru
Eating at you till you floor it
Officer say he can't come through
Give me a sign a lollipop a law to stop me from breaking

Because the fires are out
So what're you gushing about sugarplum
Just put the pills in your mouth
You're your tiger now

So wear its mask sugar
Do its dance
Shake shake that baby on out of your pants
If you can

Saw Ali on the TV
He said this much I know
I know my toe-bone's connected
To my foot-bone's connected
To my ankle-bone
Saw him that night in a dream
Staring down at his limbs
They were going like hummingbirds
Singing what's in is out
And what's out is in
Mr Fox going to Washington to testify
You gotta move child before the move finds you
And sitting in from his sickbed on CNN the Pope said it's
No time for erecting monuments - look around
Where've you found the stable ground
To stand yourself up all stiff and proud
Of what we're turning into

I almost killed a man last night at 19th and Mission
Was running late and I was switching lanes
His keychain flashed as I came past
I swerved a little
But I don't know the difference it could have made
The show was sold out anyways
