They Might Be Giants - The Lady and the Tiger lyrics

[They Might Be Giants - The Lady and the Tiger lyrics]

The lady said to the tiger as
They stood behind some doors
"I'm sick of this job
I don't know what we're waiting here fors
I'm turning off life support
I'm putting an end to this joke"
The tiger thought about this and
Then the tiger spoke

"Starving the beast, at the very least
Will just increase it's hunger
Go right ahead and starve me dead
It will only make me stronger"

The lady said
"I'm bustin' out of this prison
I got laser vision
And I'm burning a hole in the wall"
The tiger said "Wait, you'll start a fire
Destroy the entire lady and the tiger hall

"Felines and dames in flames
Will hardly serve your aims
Do you surmise it's wise
To have laser beams emitting from your eyes?"

"Point taken, cat i can well see that
Our lives are worth protecting
But, I submit it's time we quit
This hoping and expecting

"Felines and dames in flames
Will hardly serve my aims
But in my dreams, it seems
That my eyes are always shooting laser beams"

The hall remains, it still contains
A pair of doors, a choice
Behind one door, a muffled roar
Behind the other, a voice
