Lyrics Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship

Ride The Tiger

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.
