Testo: Emanuel. Black Earth Tiger. Whiteflag (Reprise).

Coming down and halfway home
I knew I could count on you
To cut me free from these sympathies
I got myself into

What is left to burn
Our lives are shadows from a light dancing on your bedroom walls
All these years have passed us by
Waiting for tonight

Way down in the back of my head
I swear I can still hear you
Calling me but you're in too deep and I
I cut myself in two

What is left to burn
Our lives are shadows from a light dancing on your bedroom walls
All these years have passed us by
Waiting for tonight

She is my black earth tiger
I am her only son
She sings like..

The ends will start to fray
When predator and prey
Are exactly the same thing
So here's to that fine day
When your white flag starts to wave
Signaling your end
