The Great Tiger, recorded September 2009

I don’t know who’s dreaming who here
But the sheets have gotten so cold
And there’s nothing you could tell me
That I’ve never been told

Some say that ignorance is bliss
Some some say it’s infancy
I will separate the spirit,
Rip this meat right out of me

Don’t forget anything you’ll need
Don’t go back if you did, love
The door is locked and the lights are out
Just forget what you did, love

I don’t know who’s dreaming who here
But the walls are on their sides
And you know as well as I do
That there’s nowhere and nothing left to hide

You might as well just stand up tall
And turn your face into the Wind
Feel its fingers on your frozen flesh
Let them dig deep into your skin

Don’t forget anything you’ll need
Don’t go back if you did, love
The door is locked and the lights are out
Just forget what you did love

The Great Tiger
Beat me to the punch
Just because I came out with both arms swinging
But just you sit right down
And I will introduce you to
Who’s in my corner

I don’t know who’s dreaming who here
But I’m asking me to go
There is nothing on the table
That I don’t already know

And the coffee’s gotten cold now
And I’m starting to wake up
He said, “I’ll see you at 3 o’clock on Tuesday”
He said, “I’ll see you at 3 o’clock on Tuesday.”
