    "I Love a Kiger"
    ...a song parody by Actaeon

    (Sung to the tune of Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger")

    (Posted 6/7/97)

    I grew up a horse-loving zoo
    Spent long nights in the stable
    Tried 'em all but they just wouldn't do
    'Cuz the fire in their hearts was burned out

    I moved along, seeking new fields
    I tried to find a wild spirit
    I got depressed by how easy they'd yield
    They'd been tamed by an unthinking age

    (chorus)
    That's why I love the Kigers, they're the breed of my dreams
    The domestics can't really do the wild thing
    On the plains they will gallop from the hills to the streams
    If I run fast enough, maybe I'll...love a Kiger

    Late at night, cold sweat on my back
    All around, mustangs breathing
    Their nostrils flare, and I fear an attack
    Till the nearest steps out from the herd...

    (chorus)
    It's the sire of the Kigers, come to see who I am
    Why I dare to encroach upon his harem
    We share breath for an hour while my heart skips a beat
    Then he turns on his heels and runs off...with the Kigers

    All alone, except for the rush
    Of having been in their presence
    I look around and I stop with a hush
    When I see that my love has returned

    (chorus)
    In the eye of the Kiger, I see fire at last
    In his heart, soul and body, passions smolder
    Moving toward him, I see that he is waiting for me
    To mount up for a ride in the heat...of the Kiger

    In the eye of the Kiger (repeats out)...
