Ride The Tiger Lyrics

I want to ride the tiger 

I want to ride the tiger 

It will be black and white in the dead of night 

Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight 

I want to ride the tiger. 

It's like a tear in the hands of a western man 

Tell you about salt, carbon and water 

But a tear to a chinese man 

He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and 

a woman. 

I want to ride the tiger 

I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you 

We got something to learn from the other side 

Something to give, we got nothing to hide 

I want to ride the tiger. 

Black wants out of the streets 

Yellow wants the country 

Red wants the country back 

And white wants out of this world 

Sing - sing to the sky 

I want to ride the tiger 

I want to ride the tiger. 

Look to the summer of seventy-five 

All the world is gonna come alive 

Do you want to ride the tiger? 

It's like a tear in the hands of a western man 

Tell you about salt, carbon and water 

But a tear to an oriental man 

He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and 

a woman.
