Ride the Tiger

I want to ride the tiger I want to ride the tiger It will be black and white in the dead of night Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight I want to ride the tiger. It's like a tear in the hands of a western man Tell you about salt, carbon and water But a tear to a Chinese man He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and A woman. I want to ride the tiger I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you We got something to learn from the other side Something to give, we got nothing to hide I want to ride the tiger. Black wants out of the streets Yellow wants the country Red wants the country back And white wants out of this world Sing, sing to the sky I want to ride the tiger I want to ride the tiger. Look to the summer of seventy-five All the world is gonna come alive Do you want to ride the tiger? It's like a tear in the hands of a western man Tell you about salt, carbon and water But a tear to an oriental man He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and A woman. --- Ride the Tiger - Starship and Jefferson Starship
