The Tragically Hip Tiger the Lion song lyrics

This is tiger the lion

Give me the knuckles of frisco

If there's danger in the language, gentlemen

I suggest no further use of the two way radio

"John Cage had come to feel that art in our time

Was far less important than our daily lives

To which so many had become more or less inclined

The purpose of it's not unique

Not to build masterpieces

For a delectative elite

But simply to wake to your life

Simply to wake to your life

Simply to wake to your life"

You'll be serving the song

When you find out you won't change

Serving the song

Walking the range

"John Cage had come to feel art in our time

Was much less important than our daily life

If there's a perpetual plan for discovery days

Where everyone can take part in what he called purposeless play

And there's a sign of life in this play, not to get order from chaos

Tell you how to create

But simply to wake to your life

Simply to wake to your life

Simply to wake to your life

Simply to wake to your life

Simply to wake to your life"

You'll be serving the song

When we find out you won't change

Serving the song

Bombing the range

This is tiger the lion

Get me into the pillows

If you're painted by radar, gentlemen

There'll be no further use of the two way radio
