I drink to keep the tiger away I sail my boat across the bay I do what I can to get through the day I drink to keep the tigers away My new car is gold and gray She always smiles I always pay I feel like hell but I look okay I drink to keep the tigers away {the tunnel at the end of the light The tunnel at the end of the light} I float above the bar like a Manta ray
I always hoped I'd end up this way I love the music but I hate the pay I drink to keep the tigers away My only girl is a bird of prey I think she works for the C.I.A Get me another beer, I think I'll stay I drink to keep the tigers away (the tunnel at the end of the light The tunnel at the end of the light)
