Tony Carey - Keeping the tigers away

Keepin` the tigers away I begged I borrowed I stole My soul was for sale So that we could belong And taste the finer things The things that only winning brings I knew we would get there all alone We crawled We said yes, sir? and no, sir? And closer we came To the magic and the gold I learned how to laugh How to lie Look them right in the eye I saw people bought and people sold We were keepin` the tigers away Keepin` the tigers away Hiding from the real thing That always comes some day Keepin` the tigers Keepin` the tigers away And then one day you ask ?Is that all there is? It all goes by so fast There`s the house and the car and the kids And your finaly see the world for what it really is You were keepin` the tigers away Keepin` the tigers away Hiding from the real thing That always comes some day Keepin` the tigers Keepin` the tigers away Song and lyrics by Tony Carey
