Lyrics

[Verse 1] The lady said to the tiger as they stood behind some doors "I'm sick of this job, I don't know what we're waiting here fors I'm turning off life support, I'm putting an end to this joke" The tiger thought about this and then the tiger spoke [Chorus] "Starving the beast, at the very least Will just increase its hunger Go right ahead and starve me dead It will only make me stronger" [Verse 2] The lady said, "I'm bustin' out of this prison I got laser vision, and I'm burning a hole in the wall" The tiger said, "Wait, you'll start a fire Destroy the entire lady and the tiger hall [Chorus] "Felines and dames in flames Will hardly serve your aims Do you surmise it's wise To have laser beams emitting from your eyes?" [Chorus] "Point taken, cat. I can well see that Our lives are worth protecting But I submit it's time we quit This hoping and expecting [Chorus] "Felines and dames in flames Will hardly serve my aims But in my dreams, it seems That my eyes are always shooting laser beams" [Outro] The hall remains, it still contains A pair of doors, a choice Behind one door, a muffled roar Behind the other, a voice
