I want to ride the tiger 
I want to ride the tiger 
It will be black and white in the dead of night 
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight 
I want to ride the tiger. 

It's like a tear in the hands of a western man 
Tell you about salt, carbon and water 
But a tear to a Chinese man 
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and 
A woman. 

I want to ride the tiger 
I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you 
We got something to learn from the other side 
Something to give, we got nothing to hide 
I want to ride the tiger. 

Black wants out of the streets 
Yellow wants the country 
Red wants the country back 
And white wants out of this world 
Sing, sing to the sky 
I want to ride the tiger 
I want to ride the tiger. 

Look to the summer of seventy-five 
All the world is gonna come alive 
Do you want to ride the tiger? 

It's like a tear in the hands of a western man 
Tell you about salt, carbon and water 
But a tear to an oriental man 
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and 
A woman.
