lyrics

The War is Over

I earned my stripes raised in the South
Sometimes got lost but made it out
I said goodbye and held their hands
You’re far too young to understand

You wave your banners and I’ll keep my walls
Stood on my shoulders you’re a hundred feet tall
The revolution’s come and gone
I know it’s time for moving on but…

Chorus:
I’m still fighting but the war is over
I’m in fatigues while you’re rolling in clover
I’m still fighting but the war is over
I’m in fatigues but you’re rolling in clover

The sky was blue but my heart was black
I braced myself for your attack
You came armed with your bright rainbows
Your bearded cheek and your women’s clothes

I’m dressed for spring but it’s December
You see my pain but you don’t remember
You’re dressed in white I’m dressed to kill
but you could change the way I feel

Chorus

Your voice so sweet just like a bird
But oh pretty one, haven’t you heard?
The things that beat us black and blue
go underground and they follow you

You’re always singing Change Your Heart
I try so hard but don’t know how to start
You beckon from the waves so blue
At water’s edge I’m watching you

Chorus (repeat)

Little Tiger Mariposa, California

Little Tiger is a new wave / synth-pop duo comprised of Alex Vance and Ava Burns. Continuing the indie rock tradition of making music for misfits, their emotionally astute lyrics celebrate the divergent and nonconforming. Contrasting electronic beats with lush synthesizers and chorus-drenched guitar hooks, their emotional soundscape reflects their love of The Cure, Joy Division and Depeche Mode. ... more
