You've been holding on to a hair
Without a harness on

Keeping by yourself
In search of love and light
To come up from within

And it doesn't even matter if it's true
There's a voice that keeps saying, saying

Keep real, you will not fade away
You will not fade away
Tigerhead
So clear that the only one to pull you through
Is gonna be you

The summer's solemn hurry
The present's getting blurry
The lights, the lights
Of what could be, what might

But there's a haze blocking the road
Self-pity's the devils toast
So you slumber
You wonder what you got
You so under

As the sorrow's on the sidelines calling through
There's a voice that keeps on saying, saying

Keep real, you will not fade away
You will not fade away
Tigerhead
So clear that the only one to pull you through
Is gonna be you

'Cause it's love that you hold
In the self you can mould
And it's you, who can do
What you do, only you
So don't be a bitch, you can't be fooled
There's no one else to see you through
Don't let it slip
Tighten your grip
If it's a sign that you're waiting for baby
This is it

Keep real, you will not fade away
Tigerhead
