Tiger Striped Sky

Pouncing ray to ray through the dappled shadows
Light was pouring down upon the stepping stones
Felt like morning coming for his throne
I don’t know why
But it looked like a tiger striped sky

Half the world was pulling on his colours
As nights turned into day to the hours
A glow was coming down, coming down
I don’t know why
But if felt like a tiger striped sky

Tell me why
I’m underneath the tiger striped sky
Oh tell me why
I’m underneath the tiger striped sky

Tired of seeing adventures on café walls
Think I’ll take a turn from the known road
Think I’ll write a tale of my own
I’m going southbound
To where the ocean’s flirting with the coast

Tell me why
I’m underneath the tiger striped sky
Oh tell me why
I’m underneath the tiger striped sky

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh

So I’ll be giving up my stripes
Be painting with new colours
Beginning with dove-white

Oh, I’ll be giving up my stripes
Be painting with new colours
Beginning with dove-white

Oh, I’ll be giving up my stripes
Be painting with new colours
Beginning with dove-white

Oh, I’ll be giving up my stripes
Be painting with new colours
Beginning with dove-white
