In every woman and man lies the seed of the fear

Of just how alone are all who live here

Denying the fear is the name of the game

To stare at the fear is going insane

Forgiving the fear is one up on Cane

Is to dance with the tiger

And laugh at the rain

Don't give me your life, I have one of my own

It was a brilliant idea inventing the home

Creatures of habit, American fools

Reaching for stars while we're standing on stools

Letting it go is jumping the train

Is to dance with the tiger

Letting it go though we won't be the same

Is to dance with the tiger

Letting it go is the name of the game

Is to dance with the tiger

And laugh at the rain
