Tiger in my Tank

i bought some rock star ashes,

from the back of rolling stone

i guess he wouldn't mind it,

they couldn't sell his soul

the tiger in my tank, is going to go extinct

and im not feelin so good myself,

i think im on the brink

of disaster

i had a dream last night

the tv and the phone

grew some legs and took a walk

and left me all alone

the tiger in my tank, is going to go extinct

and im not feelin so good myself,

i think im on the brink

of disaster

when i grow up ill be

an angry little whore,

ill give you all the finger

i'll sell you all what for
