Tiger Kit Lyrics

I was cursing your name, I've been dealt in your dream
I was thinking in symmetry
Tiger found you there 'cause I kept you there
Seeing double, believe me
Take you down low if you put on that ring
And the centers are racists but they do you no favors
Look up in the scene, you're a delicate thing

[Chorus]
You're gonna jump from there to Detroit
In front of all of these people
Oh, how sorry life is
Like a Hollywood sequel
You think you'll land on your feet
But you'll die in the streets
Look away, look away,
Oh, just go back to sleep

We were in the kitchen and the neighbors couldn't see
Thanks for the memories and all the memories
When it's dead in the water, let's throw the dice
Thanks for the memories and all the memories
Never trust a tiger can't be tamed
Feeling under the weather, can you keep it together'
So your sister's Beretta 'cause you're light as a feather

[Chorus]
You're gonna jump from there to Detroit
In front of all of these people
Oh, how sorry life is
Like a Hollywood sequel
You think you'll land on your feet
But you'll die in the streets
Look away, look away,
Oh, just go back to sleep

Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
So make like a banana and split

Tiger Kit

Multi-instrumentalist Derek Miller admitted to NME that he never really got the guitar sound that he was looking for on this song. "It will always drive me crazy," he said. "I will always hear that song and know what it could sound like, which is a problem. It has the closest thing we have to a solo on a Sleigh Bells record, I guess. It kind of rips off Jimmy Page."

However, Miller does love vocalist Alexis Krauss' Rhythm Nation reference on the second verse when she sings, "Never trust a tiger that can't be tamed." He told NME: "I think we were both really into Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. We're both huge Janet Jackson fans. I think you killed it, you have a lot of attitude."
