Mouth Of A Tiger (Sundowner)

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 its cry won't follow its 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 day 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 aimless fool I'm not looking at a glass half full I'm tired of the same old pace How easily I fill this space
