Lyrics
RED DRAGONS
VERSE 1
A hot humid day in April
The sky is burning black
Rain falls from the air
There is no turning back
If I?m to be found
I?ll be hiding in my womb
I?ve got to get my head cleared up
I?m going crazy soon.
CHORUS
Red dragons flying over my head
Red dragons flying over my bed
Red dragons gotten into me
Look into the sky.
What do you see?
VERSE 2
Get decked out in your ball and chain
And walk the streets alone.
Everybody?s got their pain
But yours is never know.
Tear it off, stick it in.
Lie down on your back
Your life is a spectator sport
?Cause it?s easier to smile than fight back
And I see all too clearly.
CHORUS
VERSE 3
Did you get decked out in your ball and chain
And walk the streets alone?
Everybody?s got their pain
So know you?re not on your own.
If I?m to be found
I?ll be hiding in my womb
I?ve got to get my head cleared up
I?m going crazy soon.
CHORUS X 2
