Lyrics In League with Dragons - The Mountain Goats

In League with Dragons

It’s so hard to get revenge
The human element drags you down
Lead a solitary life if you can
Try not to show your face in town
Let the rulers find such breaches as they may
Reckon up the variables
Find a way to make it real
Make a deal
Until my protector comes
It’s so hard to be yourself
When you’ve already seen the inside
Try to navigate the turns as best you can
Headed on down the slide
Good friends are where you find them
People talk all kinds of trash
Never you mind them
Make it real
Make a deal
Until my protector comes
Huge wings blotting out the sun
Remembering everyone
It’s so hard to look away
You gotta be strong in the face of suffering
Cut a good figure just in case somebody’s watching
Even if it ends up meaning nothing
Let the breezes split such scandal as they may
Maybe Boris Vallejo paints
The back of your head someday
Make it real
You make a deal
Until my protector comes
