Life On A Film Set

All the poems of my neighbours 
  That drift across the sand 
  Are just the tendrils 
  Of a vast 
  But gentle plant which they command 

  The headdress of a goddess 
  You wore the night we came 
  Is only one small symptom 
  I'm really not to blame 

  You're riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 

  Heaven sent the mortals 
  Raged upon the wall 
  And likewise all the missiles 
  Shot to make them fall 
  Effortlessly moving 
  Picture into frame 

  Riding a tiger 
  (You're) Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 

  Over the beaches 
  Into the sky 
  Into the reach of some 
  Last goodbye 

  Key grip was crying 
  Best boy was made 
  Here in the shelter 
  No one afraid 
  We were there 

  Follow the road 
  That leads to the sun 
  Look for the leader 
  He is the one 
  Who will 

  Offer the silence 
  You must beware 
  Using the danger 
  No one can share 

  Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 

  Out of the morning 
  Into the day 
  On to the evening 
  No where to stay 
  We were 

  Always together 
  Always the same 
  Into the future 
  No one to blame 

  Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger 

  Riding a tiger 
  Riding a tiger
