Dragons

Edwin McCain

Well I'm watching the dragons

As they make another claim

He used to be a friend of mine,

I called him by his name



Well there's nothing you can say

To nirvana when it's packed up in a syringe

We'll call up your mama and bus in all your friends



Well I'm watching the dragons

As they slither out of sight

And I wonder who'll be

Sleeping alone tonight



Beth lost her sister, they came

And they took her away

And there ain't enough pills in the world

And nothing I can say



So I tell her I love her

And that she's a friend

And each time I leave her,

I wonder if I'll see her again



Well I'm watching the dragons

As they slither out of sight

And I wonder who'll be

Sleeping alone tonight



Then I look in the mirror

The dragon has many forms

I wonder if he's coming for me

Because I have been forewarned



Well I'm watching the dragons

As they slither out of sight

And I wonder who'll be

Sleeping alone tonight
