Tony Carey keeping the tigers away

I begged
I borrowed
I stole
My soul was for sale
So that we could belong
And taste the finer things
The things that only winning brings
I knew we could get there all alone
We crawled
We said yes, sir and no, sir
And closer we came
To the magic and the gold
I learned how to laugh
How to lie
Look them right in the eye
I saw people bought and people sold
We where keepin the tigers away
hiding from the real thing
That always comes some day
Keepin the tigers away
And then one day you ask
