Taming The Tiger Lyrics - Taming The Tiger - Joni Mitchell

I stepped outside to breathe the air 

And stare up at the stars 

Big dipper hanging there 

Over the rented car 

Over the rented car 

I'm a runaway from the record biz 

From the hoods in the hood and the whiny white kids 

Boring! 

The old man is snoring 

And I'm taming the tiger 

(You can't tame the tiger) 

Tiger, tiger burning bright 

Nice, kitty kitty 

Tiger, tiger burning bright

Sophia says "It's hard to catch 

And harder still to ride 

The time to watch the beast the best 

Is when it's purring at your side" 

Purring at your side 

Accolades and honors 

One false move and you're a goner 

Boring! 

The old man is snoring 

And I'm taming the tiger 

(You can't tame the tiger) 

Tiger, tiger burning bright 

Nice, kitty kitty 

Tiger, tiger burning bright 

In the forest of the night 

Photos 

The moon shed light 

On my hopeless plight 

As the radio blared so bland 

Every disc, a poker chip 

Every song just a one night stand 

Formula music, girly guile 

Genuine junkfood for juveniles 

Up and down the dial 

Mercenary style 

I watched the stars chuck down their spears 

And a plane went blinking by 

And I thought of Anna 

Wild and dear 

Like fireworks in the sky 

Fireworks in the sky 

I'm so sick of this game 

It's hip, it's hot 

Life's too short, the whole thing's gotten 

Boring! 

The old man is snoring 

And I'm taming the tiger 

(You can't tame the tiger) 

Tiger, tiger burning bright 

Nice, kitty kitty 

(Boring!) 

Tiger, tiger burning bright 

(You can't tame the tiger) 

Oh, be nice, kitty kitty 

(Boring!) 

Tiger, tiger burning bright 

Nice, kitty kitty 

(Boring, boring!) 

Tiger, tiger burning bright 

(Fight to the light, fight to the light) 

In the forest of the night
