Paper Tigers

Caesars Paper Tigers Lyrics
1.Spirit

I, I need some young blood
Come Friday night
Bring on the big flood
Like September's coming on
Summer won't be back for long

Hey, let's start a big fire
Let's shake it up
Let's try to open brighter
There's no one here to catch our fall
No one here to hear us call

Tonight, this dirty September night
We're stuck out here
You're caught in the starlight
Running through these empty streets
You see this filthy you and me
Running through these empty streets
You see this filthy you and me

I, I know that the road's long
It lingers on
And Lord knows it's uphill
Seems like you're not getting anywhere
You give up just before you're there
Seems like you're not getting anywhere
You give up just before you're there

Hey, don't lose your spirit
Seen all along
But its there if you need
Seems like you're not getting anywhere
But don't give up you're almost there
Seems like you're not getting anywhere
But don't give up you're almost there


2.It's Not The Fall That Hurts

All my life I've been fall- fall- falling apart,
Been tumbling down quick first right from the start
I never learned just get up and go on
Until I'm just knocked right off of my feet

But it's not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground
Cuz it's not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground

Stumblin' with every step I take
And it seems I can't get a grip
I'm soon gonna slip
And then I look down
I see the fur ground
Is closening fast again
And then boom

But it's not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground
Cuz it's not the fall that hurts
It's when you hit the ground


3.Out There

Running down the street I know
All too well and it feels like
I've been put under a spell
And I've tried hard to break it to make it
But since the day you put this poison in me
Broke into my life and you did no deed
Now I can settle down nowhere
Somehow I got lost out there

No no no no no no no
You lit my light and put it out girl
Left me dying on the floor
All alone, I'm nowhere, you're out there

And ever since the day this fiery fly
Started bugging me I really tried
To run away but I can't get nowhere
I'm stuck in here and I can't get out there
Get out there

Running the street I know
I've been put under a spell
And I've tried hard to break it to make it
But since the day you put this poison in me
Broke into my life and you did no deed
Now I can settle down nowhere
Somehow I got lost out there

No no no no no no no
You lit my light and put it out girl
Left me dying on the floor
All alone, I'm nowhere, you're out there


4.Jerk It Out

Wind me up
Put me down
Start me off and watch me go
I'll be running circles around you sooner than you know
A little off center
And I'm out of tune
Just kicking this can along the avenue
But I'm alright

Coz it's easy once you know how it's done
You can't stop now
It's already begun
You feel it
Running through your bones

And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out

Shut up
Hush your mouth
Can't you hear you talk too loud
No I can't hear nothing cause I got my head up in the clouds
I bite off anything that I can chew
I'm chasing cars up and down the avenue
But that's ok

Coz it's easy once you know how it's done
You can't stop now
It's already begun
You feel it
Running through your bones

So you jerk it out

Coz it's easy once you know how it's done
You can't stop now
It's already begun
You feel it
Running through your bones

And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out
And you jerk it out
Oh baby don't you know you really gotta jerk it out
When you jerk it out baby don't you know you really gotta jerk
it out
When you jerk it out baby don't you know you really gotta jerk
it out


5.May The Rain

May the rain keep fallin on your head
I'll make you pay for all the tears i've bled
May you die alone in your bed
Baby one day you will wake up dead

But every time you talk to me and-
You whisper dirty words to me and-
I start to fall apart all over again
You got me where you want me again


But every time you talk to me and-
You whisper dirty words to me and-
I start to fall apart all over again
You got me where you want me again

Can't you hear me callin out your name
The disappointment, tears and all this shame
All these useless years that i've spent
Tangled up inside this stupid game..


6.My Heart Is Breaking Down

I see the lightning strike the tree
Its when my love moves away from me
I hear the thunder roaring by
The rivers of salty tears you cry
My heart is breaking down
And I like to arrange to see you again
I cant go on whithout you
So dont be too long 'cause my heart aint strong
Aint got no suger Im my coffee
The times are hard and got the right cards
My cup is running over
My cup is cold yhea Im really soo
My heart is breaking down
And I like to arrange to see you again
I cant go on whithout you
So dont be too long 'cause my heart aint strong
I see the lightning strike the tree
Its when my love moves away from me
I hear the thunder roaring by
The rivers of salty tears you cry
My heart is breaking down
And I like to arrange to see you again
I cant go on whithout you
So dont be too long 'cause my heart aint strong
My heart is breaking down
And I like to arrange to see you again
I cant go on whithout you
So dont be too long 'cause my heart aint strong


7.Paper Tigers

It's in the atmosphere we breathe tonight
It's in the people that we meet
And in your eyes
Just like every other fool out there
We dont think were so unique
Such special freeks

It's in every single one of us
Every single one of us
Looking for a city
Hoping for a second shot
Every single one of us
Every single one of us

I see the world light through a looking glass
I see the people walk by walk by
Like paper tigers roaming in the street
They stare right through me when we meet

It's in everysingle one of us
Every single one of us
Looking for a city
Hoping for a second shot
Every single one of us
Every single one of us


8.Your Time Is Near

Well it took a long time but you've finally worn out your smile
That's when I knew it
I've run outta bar a time?
You always used to say that you could learn a lot through
wasting time
And that if you look hard
You'll see yourself in your lovers eyes

Your time is near it won't be long
You've got to go when you're called upon
No light of day no sight of dawn
Don't turn around just walk right on

You came riding into town with a black and white five and ten
Said I'll be your captain
And take you back home again
It's your third time around but you know I'll get a second wind
But if we ever get there they'll be no one there to let us in

Your time is near it won't be long
You've got to go when you're called upon
You caught me dancing in the street last night
You walked right past me into the light

Packed up my souvenirs, tied my shoes, and sold my car
Yes I should have known it
I'd never get very far
Ever since we've met you've been a hungry and a restless child
You're just like your father
You know he's got a poison mind

Your time is near it won't be long
You've got to go when you're called upon
You said you and me we'd never will pretend
But my broken soul is never gonna mend


9.Throwaway

I didn't know the other day
But I guess I sure found out
All you wanted was another trophy for your shelf

There goes a sweet thing down the drain
Nothing new and nothing strange
It's the tiny little slip
In my life

Next so that I can sleep at night
In my mind no fuss or fight
And today's just another rainy April day

There's another sweet thing gone to waste
And there ain't no looking back
Just a tiny little slip
In my life so
There's another sweet thing gone to waste
And there ain't no looking back
Just a stupid little glitch
Just to throwaway

And you know
I ain't taking it all to heart
You just write me a little card
From wherever you're going

There goes a sweet thing down the drain
Nothing new and nothing strange
Just a tiny little slip
In my life so
There's another sweet thing gone to waste
And there ain't no looking back
Just a stupid little glitch
Just to throwaway

Just a throwaway


10.Winter Song

The Wind is freezin all around
Dirty snow keeps falling down

Im still here and you are gone
The city is cold and winter has come

Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long
Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long

Im running down the icey streets
Trying to catch the last ??

Stumbling on my tired feet
Chasing down the summer street

Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long
Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long

The Wind is freezin all around
Dirty snow keeps falling down

Im still here and you are gone
The city is cold and winter has come

Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long
Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long

Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long
Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long


11.We Got To Leave

On the North side of town, where the cold winds always blow.
Peoples faces are hard to see, noone that you know.
And on the South side of town the bad ones are carrying guns.
They are all the screaming and swearing, they even got the cops
on the run.

The city is full of lonley hearts.
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts.
We got to get away, and make a brand new start.
We got to get away, before it falls apart.
You and me, you and me.
We can still make it, yeah we got to leave!

On the West side of town they say the streets are lined with
gold.
But the all the peoples tongues are turing black from the lies
they told.
On the East side of town you can hear someones baby cryin.
And when the kid grows up he's going to turn into a mean old
guy.

The city is full of lonley hearts.
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts.
We got to get away, and make a brand new start.
We got to get away, before it falls apart.
You and me, you and me.
We can still make it, yeah we got to leave!
You and me, you and me.
We can still make it, yeah we got to leave!

The city is full of lonley hearts.
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts.
We got to get away, and make a brand new start.
Got to get away, before it falls apart.

The city is full of lonley hearts.
And all the gutters are filled with broken parts.
We got to get away, and make a brand new start.
Got to get away, before it falls apart.
You and me, you and me.
We can still make it, yeah we got to leave!


12.Soul Chaser

You took the last train out into the night
You see the outside world its rushing by
There goes another town
And there's no turn around
Well the big bad city is just ahead
And just a million lives of the living dead
Will put the squeeze on you
So what you gonna do

Well you've bent your mind you've spent your life
And you've ended up with what
But you've gone way too far by now to turn around
Running fast and you're running blind
But the past is always close behind
A million leaves are falling to the ground
As the night turns to day
And the days fade away

All the silent people with empty eyes
Its like a drive in version of paradise
And you just can't wait
You gotta fill that play
You feel the morning rain at the break of day
Is gonna wash the sins of the night away
Well don't you understand
Its getting out of hand

Well you've bent your mind you've spent your life
And you've ended up with what
But you've gone way too far by now to turn around
Running fast and you're running blind
But the past is always close behind
A million leaves are falling to the ground
As the night turns to day
And the days fade away

You're running fast and you're running blind
But the past is always close behind
A million leaves are falling to the ground
Well you've bent your mind you've spent your life
And you've ended up with what
But you've gone way too far by now to turn around
Running fast and you're running blind
But the past is always close behind
A million leaves are falling to the ground
As the night turns to day
And the days fade away


13.Good And Gone

Come inside,
Close the blinds,
Let's hide away,
We're gone.

Lock the door,
Let them fuss about,
One whole day,
On our own.

Good as gone,
On our own,
All alone,
Good as gone,
On our own,
All alone...

Shut the lights,
Shut the shades,
Make it all go away!
Let them scream and shout,
We dont hear a thing,
Out of reach,
We're gone!
