Song started with me noodling around on the guitar with different chord sequences. A reflective song on today's narcissism in culture was then set in motion. Then I decided on the AABA structure. The lyric flowed from there.

THE TIGER AT TWILIGHT
words & music by Robert Marino
V1
You know - the tiger at twilight is ready to strike
Right at the heart of the matter
Baby better take care now - when she comes
V2
You’ll find – the charm on your bracelet is ready to lie
Just like your pretty-pink tablets
Ooh the tiger at twilight – when she comes
Bridge I
Oh yeah - she would love to meet you there by the borderline
She likes to linger where the shadows fall
And when she calls - you’ll fall awake all night
Your blinded rainbow eyes
Will see all that you’ve realized
V3
Well you know – the tiger at twilight is surely to bite
Deep in the heart of the matter
Baby better take care now - when she comes
Bridge II
‘Cause the truth behind the laughter will come-a cuttin’ through
As the chip on your shoulder comes-a crashes down
Oh how will it feel when all that you’ve refused ...
Comes out from under you?
Yeah I wonder what you’ll do?
V4
Well you know - the tiger at twilight is surely to strike
Deep in the heart of the matter
Baby better take care now - when she comes [3x]
