Tiger in a Burning Tree

A friend of mine woke me up

To tell me about his dream

All the lights in the world went black

He felt like a tiger in a burning tree

It was like he was late for something that he did not want to see

His life looked better on paper, he lives like a tiger in a burning treeBlow out the candles and make a wishI thought about a woman from a city in the South

She lost her car when the bottom fell out

She sold her life to the deep blue sea

She left a message for the world to see

She knows better what its like to be a tiger in a burning treeClose your eyes and take a big deep breath

Blow out the candles and make a wishWhen I was a child I painted my toys

Angel blue and devil red

I broke them into pieces, set them on fire, and shoved them under my bed

I never learned how to play nice with all the other kids

I never learned how to draw inside the line and probably never willClose your eyes and take a big deep breath

Imagine a world so much better than this

Now close your eyes and jump to a place you would think to be

Then you could tell me what it feels like to be

A tiger in a burning tree
