lyrics

BLIND TIGER

Now me and you have been friends for years.
Maybe we should say our goodbyes.
They’ll send us up the river if we don’t split up now.
We’ve been seen together and someone’s getting wise.

Point the way to the blind tiger.
Tonight I want to sleep in her arms.
Tonight I want to sleep in her arms.
Point the way to the blind tiger.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.

It’s the same old wine in brand new bottles.
We’re drinking it anyway.
We’ll walk the chalk to this whiskey bar.
Between cup and lip I almost thought I heard them say...

Point the way to the blind tiger.
Tonight I want to sleep in‚ her arms.
Tonight I want to sleep in her arms.
Point the way to the blind tiger.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.

A Philadelphia lawyer couldn’t get us out of this one.
Lord knows we were dying of thirst.
I said ‘I’ll take you to the edge and back.’
When we got there you said ‘who goes first?’

Point the way to the blind tiger.
Tonight I want to sleep in her arms.
Tonight I want to sleep in her arms.
Point the way to the blind tiger.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
Cry like a baby when the thrill is gone.
