Mouth Of A Tiger Lyrics

I'm worth five bucks or less
The future is down my neck
My restless soul takes stride
For across this great divide
But I won't heed it's cry
Won't follow it's lifeline
It's time to sink or swim
Sail on or anchor in

I'm funny like an aimless fool
I'm as lucky as a funeral

I've got cliches to write
I get high as a kite
My dreams force me to wake
Find meaning to this duty
Find a way into the night
Grant me with a reason why
I'm sick with the TV on
It drones in the lonely dawn

I'm funny like a nameless fool
I'm not looking at a glass half full

I'm tired of the same old pace
I hate this same old day
How easily I fill this space
Handed down from the same old place
I fail with the old streetlights
I bark with the dogs at night
When the moon is full and bright
It smiles in the alley's eyes

Pin me up with the stars tonight
I've been looking for a place to shine
One day it'll be my time
I'm not waiting for the bells to chime

I'll brake like a traffic jam
I'll sing like a slaughtered lamb
Upside down like an hourglass
I've been waiting for the sands to pass
But the storms keep rolling in
Sharp teeth on a howling wind
I'm like a penny in a fountain
Thrown from a warm and distant
Palm unknown

I'm funny like an aimless fool
I'm as lucky as a funeral

Now the world seems
So clear as it disappears
In the blink of a frozen eye
In the course of an hour gone by
One day my star will rise
A new path will open wide
Like the mouth of a tiger
I will swallow all my pride

I'm funny like a nameless fool
I'm not looking at a glass half full
I'm tired of the same old pace
How easily I fill this space
