"Tiger Striped Sky" lyrics

Pouncing ray to ray through the dappled shadows
Light was pouring down upon the stepping stones
Felt like morning coming for his throne
I don't know why, but it looked like a tiger-striped sky

Half the world was pulling on his colors
As night surrendered day to the hours
A glow was coming down, coming down
I don't know why, but if felt like a tiger-striped sky

Tell me why
I'm underneath the tiger-striped sky
Oh, tell me why
I'm underneath the tiger-striped sky

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Tired of seeing adventures on café walls
Think I'll take a turn from the known road
Think I'll write a tale of my own
I'm going southbound to where the ocean's flirting with the coast

And tell me why
I'm underneath the tiger-striped sky
Oh, tell me why
I'm underneath the tiger-striped sky

Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah ah

So I'll be giving up my stripes
Be painting with new colors
Beginning with dove-white
Oh, I'll be giving up my stripes
Be painting with new colors
Beginning with dove-white
(Oh, I,ll be giving up my stripes)
(Be painting with new colors)
(Beginning with dove-white)
(Oh, I'll be giving up my stripes)
(Be painting with new colors)
(Beginning with dove-white)
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
