Tigers And Fireflies

Ooooh

He took me to a garden of Eden
When I got there I found it needed weeding
Well, well... you never can tell mmm

The honeysuckle trees looked so inviting
When I got closer they were poison ivy
My, my, right in front of my eyes were

Tigers and fireflies
Telling me lies, they were telling me lies
I couldn't see their disguise
Tigers and fireflies
Tigers and fireflies

I flew down to my fools paradise
Knew that I had been there maybe once or twice before
But I couldn't be sure mmm

I cannot be sure if this is love or desire
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
Burn, burn... when will I learn to discern those

Tigers and fireflies
Telling me lies, they were telling me lies
I couldn't see their disguise
Tigers and fireflies
Tigers and fireflies

Ooooh

Tiger, tiger burning bright
I heard your roar, I felt your bite
I was razzled, I was dazzled by the fireflies light
It hypnotised me, mesmerised me all night

TTTTigers and fireflies
Telling me lies, they were telling me lies
I couldn't see their disguise
Tigers and fireflies
Tigers and fire... flies

Ooooh
