Ride The Tiger
(Lyrics: Byong Yu, Grace Slick, Paul Kantner. Music: Paul Kantner)

I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger
It will be black and white in the dead of night
Eyes flashing in the clear moonlight
I want to ride the tiger.

It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to a chinese man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman.

I want to ride the tiger
I want to sail through the risin' sun for you and you
We got something to learn from the other side
Something to give, we got nothing to hide
I want to ride the tiger.

Black wants out of the streets
Yellow wants the country
Red wants the country back
And white wants out of this world
Sing - sing to the sky
I want to ride the tiger
I want to ride the tiger.

Look to the summer of seventy-five
All the world is gonna come alive
Do you want to ride the tiger?

It's like a tear in the hands of a western man
Tell you about salt, carbon and water
But a tear to an oriental man
He'll tell you about sadness and sorrow or the love of a man and a woman.

That's For Sure
(Lyrics: Jerry Gallup. Music: Craig Chaquico)

Think of the times you have sat by yourself
And wondered
Just what it was that compelled you to be
What you are
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you go out.

High on a hill you can feel the breeze
And rest easy
All things that live have a right to exist
And be free.

You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you'll go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out
That's for sure, that's how you go out.

Is there a chance you have taken these steps
So not losing
Losing all that you have, don't you know what you have is not real
You came into this life unsheltered and all alone
That's how you came and for sure that's how you go out
Yeah that's for sure
That's how you go out
That's how you go out
That's how you go out
That's how you go out.

Be Young You
(Words and music: Grace Slick)

The tongues of some men are made of metal
The tongues of some men are made of oil
But the keeper of those men never rolled
Their tongues for anybody's free ride but his own
Now the oily tongues are thirsty for black gold.

But the old men are going to bed
They'll be sleeping through the future
And the children red with fire
They got to move away the old man's rusty beds.

Now the tongue, the tongue of a master
That should be laughter - with dancing legs
Like a flying wheel for the weak and sad man
Some tongues of man are made of silence
And your eyes will listen.

Caroline
(Lyrics: Marty Balin. Music: Paul Kantner)

Oh what can I tell you now, Caroline
Should I hurt your feelings or keep on lyin'?
One thing leads to another and another
And another and another besides
You always know whenever I wanna make love
And you always know all the changes I'm going through
Just as if you can read my mind
Caroline, you know everything I do
There just ain't no words to describe
How I feel inside for you.

Yet somewhere out there
Waitin' on a wonder
You'll lend wings to my words
Somewhere when the band is gone
And the music of my song
Is just right for lovers.
