Dragon's Lair |
I’m sorry that I’m late |
I went blind |
I got confetti in my eyes |
I was held up at yesterday’s parties |
I was needed on the congo line |
But my dear, oh, my dear |
I’d like to fight the good fight for another couple of years |
'Cause to say the war is over is to say you are a widow |
You’re not a widow yet |
You’re not a widow yet |
You’re not a widow yet |
You’re not a widow yet |
So this one’s for the critics and their disappointed mothers |
For the cupid and the hunter shooting arrows at each other |
Ain’t no such thing as a saint, |
Ain’t no such thing as a sinner, oh |
There’s a swan among the pigeons of Barcelona’s floor |
There’s a Samson with Delilahs lining up outside the door |
If you are sharpening your scissors |
I am sharpening my scissors, |
And I am sharpening my sword |
So you can take me to the dragon’s lair |
Or you can take me to Rapunzel’s windowsill |
Either way it is time for a bigger kind of kill |
A bigger kind of kill |
Oh, I see your face when I close my eyes |
Oh, I see the muscles in your legs from the way you always rise |
To the occasion of catching things that fall |
Like the statuettes on pedestals I tend to build too tall |
But I have navigated Iceland |
I’ve laid my claim on Portugal |
I have seen into the wasteland |
Oh, the future |
Oh, the future of us all |
Of dead, dead leaves last fall |
Oh, keep them in her country |
Of dead, dead leaves last fall |
Dead leaves |
Dead leaves |
Dead leaves |
Dead leaves |
Seen from the back of a train |
I rode away from your station |
They drifted in the air |
Like memoirs of old conversations |
Sprung from a leather case |
You opened in the wind |
To watch the papers chase each other |
Into oblivion |
You’re such a champion |
You’re such a champion |
I hide behind your sun |
You are the champion |
So you can take me to the dragon’s lair |
You can take me to Rapunzel’s windowsill |
Either way it is time, oh, it is time |
For a bigger kind of kill |
A bigger kind of kill |
