Tiger Rider
(Klaus Ebert/Horst Ebert)

The man who rode the Tiger 
The man who rode the Tiger
The man who rode the Tiger
Is going back where he belongs
And lives without you now

The revolution that took place 
Is spread all over, all over your face
Now that he’s gone it’s time to cry
You’re all alone and don’t know why
You don’t know why he’s gone away
Why did he leave you yesterday

The man who rode the Tiger

His only target was the tame
The beast of prey a senseless game
For he found out about you now
And he did learn your cheat somehow
So he gave up and let you run
And you can look elsewhere for fun

He didn’t put you in a cage
You were running free
No lattice was in front of me
No lock was at your door
You didn’t have to use a trick
It was a simple treason

The man who rides the Tiger
