lyrics

Dragon Song

I was the freak in the sideshow
I was the clown in the rodeo
I was the ghost that you passed on the street you swore must have been James Dean

And I sit on the riverbank
And tell those fish straight forward and frank
I say, "Hey fish!-'less you wanna get caught,
You better want what you need!"

You better want what you need
If you laugh you must cry
Think before you speak
If you don't you might say goodbye
Now would that be right?
And if you jump the gun
You better catch the wind
This is your last chance
Just think if you win
All the pleasures you'll be enjoying…

And I was the figure on the mountain side
The shadow in the corner late at night
The guy at the party in the cowboy hat
Who pinched your ass when you walked past did it make you mad?
Or honey did you like?
Well fate sucks…
But I bet you enjoy it.

I was the man by the side of the road
Who recites his poetry and strips off his clothes have you got five dollars?
I'm an alcoholic
Let's talk
I'm so sober and lonesome

And it helps me to realize to see it there in every man's eye is a fear and a horrible passion
These are mine
Eyes of the Dragon

I was the nerd in the front of the class
The hippie in the park smoking grass
The man crying at the funeral
That nobody knew
And when the reverend said "Does anyone here protest this?"
I said "I Do! I Do! I Do!"

And anytime I had a chance in hell
I stole your eye and quickly fell into the scenery
A memory of a shadow

Well you didn't want what you need
You joked and laughed you should have cried
Thought before you spoke but look what you said you said goodbye
Oh, but I guess it's all right
You've got your universe to run
And yes, you run it right
But you've left if for us to burn
With the fire of the dragon

And it helps me to realize
To see it there in every man's eye
There's a fear and a horrible passion
These are mine
Eyes of the dragon
