The scattered and refracted light
faded away to a fevered midnight.
Making and reframing the game,
Patterns within patterns within patterns again.
Three hundred dollars to call off a search.
They lied when they said it can't get any worse.
The bottle's a judge just as much as a curse.
There was a time, you saw the sign,
We would go running and raging at night.
There was a time, you saw the sign,
We would be wild white tigers at night.
We straddle the line, your side and mine;
A daily routine to cut through the lie.
Behind the wheel remember the fear
in the blood that spilled into the streets.
Running out to the final frame,
Dandelion flowers where the bodies lay,
From the national news it faded away.
There was a time, you saw the sign,
We would go running and raging at night.
There was a time, you saw the sign,
We would be wild white tigers at night.
Call up a train, call up the rain,
We will be wild white tigers again.
Call up a train, call up the rain,
Wild white tigers run free again.
We are not strong, we can't keep up.
We are not strong, we are not strong enough.
Run through the dark, run through the wood,
Throw off the chains that do you no good.
Run through the dark, run through the wood,
Wild white tigers run free as they should.
Call up a train, call up the rain,
We will be wild white tigers again.
Call up a train, call up the rain,
Wild white tigers run free again.
We are not strong, we can't keep up.
We are not strong, we are not strong enough.
