lyrics

Year of the Tiger

This isn’t what I planned.
Nothing worth doing lasts.
Tigers in a cage,
born to chase, now tamed.

A city paved with thoughts,
old stories never bought.
There’s whispers in the streets,
the songwriter’s reckoning.

This is not what I bargained for,
locked out of an open door.
I’m going off the rails,
adrift in Lost Angeles.

This could be the year
I finally disappear.
Push off away from shore,
like the man who sold the world.

I’ll show the world,
who owes the world.
Great news from earth,
this traveler went off the edge of the world.

This is not what I bargained for,
locked out of an open door.
I’m going off the rails,
adrift in Lost Angeles.

This is not what I counted on,
first light to a setting sun.
No wind left in my sail,
adrift in Lost Angeles.

I bet it all on Hollywood
when no one gave me time.
Try to tell a dreamer, no,
with the stars stuck in their eyes.

I’m going off the rails,
I’m going off the rails,
I’m going off the rails,
adrift in Lost Angeles.
