Carina,
Carina,
A velvet love,
Soft to the touch.
It's all we need,
Don't run away,
Can't you see?
Looking in the sky,
Looking for hope,
I find you there,
Bright as can be.
Carina,
Carina,
A velvet love,
That makes me feel.
My heart's not black, it's not white, it's gray like an elephant's skin.
A tiger’s eyes,
In the pale moon light,
A tiger’s eyes,
Shining big and bright.
The Indian Jungle,
Dense and dark,
Life brimming throughout,
The perfect prey.
A flash,
A radiant second,
The penultimate pulsing form pounces,
Fantasy in motion.
All you can see,
Before it ends,
Are the eyes,
The tiger’s eyes.
