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.
