Tiger

ABBA · Arrival [1976]

The city is a jungle, you better take care

Never walk alone after midnight

If you don't believe it you better beware

Of me



I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger



The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream

Some of us will dream it forever

Look around the corner and try not to scream

It's me



I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger



Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights

Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights



I am behind you, I always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger



The city is a prison, you never escape

You're forever trapped in the alleys

Look into the shadows and you'll see the shape

Of me



I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger



Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights

Yellow eyes, the spotlights of the city nights



I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger

People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger

And if I meet you, what if I eat you, I am the tiger

I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger

Tiger, tiger, tiger!
