Tiger in a Spotlight (Live in 1977/78) - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Bass - playing in my face - grabbin' the elastic

Drums - listen here she comes - hammerin' the plastic

Keys - I play 'em all with ease - Freeze! Your shakin' at the knees

You're doin' somethin' drastic - chasin' the fantastic...

To dine with tigers in the sky

But did you ever stop to wonder why?

Man - living in a can - skippin' with a suit-case

Frail - living in a gale - slipping on a blue face

Claws - are scratching at the doors - Pause: If you don't lose your oars

You're trippin' on a shoe lace - racin' to each new place...

To screw your shadow in the sky

But did you ever stop to wonder why?

Sun - help me when I run - bleedin' from the moonlight

Nurse - help me with a verse - I need to sing the tune right

Days - I wasted in the maze - Raise your eyes above the ways

To keep a silver spoon bright - fly up to balloon height...

To ride the spotlight in the sky

But did you ever stop to wonder why?
