lyrics

RUMPUS

Fire and fear and monsters under the bed
Visions of dark forests in my head
Wild beasts around corners giving me a dreadful fright
All these things they fill my dreams like tigers in the night

Hand and eye and symmetry
Little do we know
What use is flyin' into the sky
When there's nowhere else to go

Think I'll lay me down in the grass
Wait for this feeling to pass
I just can't seem to get over it I always seem to find
It's just too hard to chase away the tigers in my mind

Hand and eye and symmetry
Little do we know
What use is flyin' into the sky
When there's nowhere else to go

Famine is spreading like wildfire
The walls around us are getting higher
We find ourselves becoming our roles like bees living in hives
Never learning what to do with our burning tiger lives

Hand and eye and symmetry
Little do we know
What use is flyin' into the sky
When there's nowhere else to go
