Here There Be Tigers

Here there be tigers, tigers be here
That was the only thing between us
That was the only thing we never hear

Somewhere up the coast, far from ancient states
I heard you say the wave was heavy and weighed you down
As weight tends to do, the way it got to you

You got off watching Hastings St and Hastings got you back
When you were sending all your postcards
How many junkies does it take
To lay a track back home?

Here there be tigers, tigers be here
That was the only thing between us
That was the only thing that was clear
Here there be tigers

Mini Tel Aviv in south Bombay where you slept off the drugs
Nervous from two years service from where they swept you under the rug
That's the part that hurts, they said you wouldn't work

You got down on everything 'cause everyone let you down
Almost to the point where you could not open your mouth up
To say I love, I've always loved you

Here there be tigers, tigers be here
That was the only thing between us
That was the only thing that was clear
Here there be tigers
