¶Lyrics / Text

The tigers arrive, amiable, languid, sauntering in with swishing tails. They belly up to the counter for chips and dips and cookies and cheese. Their eyes slant with pleasure; their whiskers redden with wine. This is, as always, a free assembly: there are no traps, no whips; there's no coercion. From their places on the small, hard chairs the tigers make a show of flashing white fangs at the ringmaster. He smiles. He knows they wouldn't be here if they didn't enjoy it.
