Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna ride, ride the tiger
I wanna ride, ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashin' in the clear moonlight
I wanna ride, ride the tiger
[Verse 2]
It's like a tear in the eyes 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
[Verse 3]
I want to ride, ride the tiger
I want to sail through the rising sun for you and you
For you and you
We got something to learn from the other side
Something to give, we've go nothing to hide
I want to ride, ride the tiger
[Verse 4]
Black wants out of the streets
Yellow wants the country
Red wants the country back
White wants out of this world
Sing, sing to the sky
[Verse 5]
I wanna ride, ride the tiger, yeah
I want to ride, ride the tiger
[Verse 6]
Look to the summer of seventy five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride, ride the tiger?
It's like a tear in the eyes 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
[Verse 7]
It's like a tear, it's like love
It's like a tear, it's like love
You wanna ride
You wanna ride
