Lyrics

Tiger Trap

What's forbidden is a treasure hidden

I got a clue on the trail of finding all about you

Ask for trouble

A piece of the puzzle

Then I saw you

So many locks and keys and chains shield you

Two hearts crash insides against

When the suffering does commence

Jolly Roger run up the mast

And the sentence of love is passed

What's forbidden has been boldly bitten

I found you

Bitter tasting core of the sweetest fruit

Confusion reigns supreme when bad promises are redeemed

Tender hook of the tiger trap

Lost on the edge of a treasure map

Cover the wicked days with the scent of the sweet bouquet

The spoils of love renew

Still on the trail of finding all about you

Once forgiven but never written

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you

When I saw you
