"Little Tiger" lyrics

"Little Tiger"

Don't depend on me kiddo
Bread made of blood comes from a blood red dough
The inoffensive are the ones you can hear
Playing on the radio
Don't ask me how I'll make ends meet,
I don't know

All you own you owe to someone you don't know
All you own you owe to someone you don't know
Eeny meeny tiny miny catch a little tiger by the toe
All you own you owe to someone you don't know

If every object has its root in a lie
Always check the mirror to make sure you exist
Every time you pass by
The inoffensive are the ones you can hear
Playing on the radio
Calling all out there: Mercy, mercy mercy

All you own you owe to someone you don't know
All you own you owe to someone you don't know
Shucking in the shadows little tricky dick
Shush him or he'll grow
My mother told me never to let him go

Finally you knew
Finally you knew
What you had to do
And you did it right there and then

Don't depend on me kiddo
Don't hang my picture on your rear-view mirror
When you're you're trying to go
The inoffensive are the ones you can hear
Playing on the radio
We'll come at them like a storm
Leaving them with a ratty ear-o

All you own you owe to someone you don't know
All you own you owe to someone you don't know
Eeny meeny tiny miny catch a little tiger by the toe
If you ever hear him holler you will have to let him go
