Chasing the Dragon

Claws fight me down bring me round

Bite my skin let me in

Turn me out make me shout

In the rain find me again

Chase the dragon to the cave

Find what's there, find what I make

A pile of treasure she sits on

Blowing smoke-rings over me and on

The heads of passing strangers

Wary of her scales, those dangers

She sheds her smile without a care

She lights a candle with a breath and I'm there



Fight me down bring me around

Turn me out make me shout

Bite me skin let me in

In the rain find me again

Chase the dragon to its hide

The place it runs to poor and lied to

Find what's there, find what she has

A pot of gold no rainbow in sight

All of it smoke-rings blowing over

Heads and fee and stumbling home I

Shed my smile now with a sigh

She lights a candle and I know why



Bite my skin let me in

Fight me down bring me around

In the rain find me again

Turn me out make me shout

Chase the dragon into you

The place you run and hide when you're lied to

Find what's there, the treasure you share

With anyone you show yourself to

Smoke-rings you blow to hide and shade

Prying eyes from what you are and need

Shed your smile now with a sigh

Like a candle and tell her you know why



Chase the dragon into you

Chase the dragon into you

Repeat to fade
