Electric Six - Iron Dragon lyrics

It took ten years to get there
Twenty more to come back to your war
And when I fired up my only flare
You instructed your battalions to ignore
It was the longest game of chicken
Who would be the first to blink first?
Well, thank God I had a bucket to get sick in
'Cause your rejection couldn't make
Me feel worse

From the hills I saw you in your courtyard
Crazed from merry drink
And the nights here give me
Too much time to think
To think about the days

You hitched your horse to a rusty wagon
I hitched my wagon to a dead horse
Iron Dragon
Won't you stay as a matter of course?
Iron Dragon
Won't you stay 'til the end of the wars?

If I could only find a star to put my wish in
I'd be the main attraction at your duel
I remember the words of your magician
You gotta melt down fifty jokers
To make a fool

From here I see you fortifying
For a cold December and it hit's me now that
You might not remember remember the time

You hitched your horse to a rusty wagon
I hitched my wagon to a dead horse
Iron Dragon
Won't you stay as a matter of course?
Iron Dragon
Won't you stay 'til the end of the wars?

How will this be recorded?
Will it be a big display in the museum?
Will my loyalty be rewarded?
Or will they just say "must've
Sucked to be him"?

Whoever finds my scribbles
Well I hope you read to the end
'Cause in the end I reunite
With my old friend

You hitched your horse to a rusty wagon
I hitched my wagon to a dead horse
Iron Dragon
Won't you stay as a matter of course?
Iron Dragon
Won't you stay 'til the end of the wars?

Save the world, save the world
I'm the new Michael Jackson
Save the world, save the world
Save the world

Save the world, save the world
I'm the new Michael Jackson
Save the world, save the world
Save the world
