[Verse 1]
Wade in the rising water, walk in the sinking sand
Crawl through the shadow valley to try to understand
I climbed a Jacob's ladder, I fell down holy stairs
I found Siddartha's temple, no answer anywhere

[Chorus]
The minute you think you know you got it
Is the minute you know it's gone for good
The second you pause, his claws are on it
The tiger inside will eat the child

[Verse 2]
I saw a hall of mirrors, I saw a burning wheel
I saw a rain of arrows, I lost the way to feel
I saw a million faces, stare at a fallen sky
I saw the last horizon, the end of time

[Chorus]
The minute you think you know you got it
Is the minute you know it's gone for good
The second you pause, his claws are on it
The tiger inside will eat the child

[Verse 3]
Speaking in quiet whispers, you hear it everywhere
It leaves as you're arriving, arrives and you're still there
You drink, the cup is empty, you pour, the cup is full
You'll never get to hold it, it's always holding you
It's always holding you, it's always
[Chorus]
The minute you think you know you got it
Is the minute you know it's gone for good
The second you pause, his claws are on it
The tiger inside will eat the child
