Frank Zappa - Prelude To The Afternoon Of A Sexually Aroused Gas lyrics

Heart pounds to the sound comin’ after me.

Step back. what is that? it’s a mystery.

Is it somethin’? pro’bly nothin’.

Still I find a way to scare myself

’til I remember this all feels familiar

And I know better.

They are only paper tigers followin’ me

In the wild imagination of the make believeoh.

And there’s a fightera survivor arisin’ in me.

I’m not afraid of paper tigers.

Night brings creepy thingsand I hide away.

False fears disappear in the light of day. (light of day)

The sun is risin’; I’m realizin’

The only thing to fear is fear itself.

Now I am certain that my beast of burden

Isn’t worth the worry.

They are only paper tigers followin’ me

In the wild imagination of the make believeoh.

And there’s a fightera survivor arisin’ in me.

I’m not afraid of paper tigers. oh (paper paper tigers) oh oh (oh oh)

They are only paper tigers followin’ me

In the wild imagination of the make believe.

And there’s a fightera survivor arisin’ in me.

I’m not afraid of paper tigers.

(they are only paper tigers) followin’ me yeah

(in the wild imagination) ohthey’re only make believewow

There’s a fightera survivor arisin’ in me.

I’m not afraidand I won’t run away from paper tigers.

Ooo ooo
