They Lady and the Tiger - They Might Be Giants

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 its 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
