Lyrics Blue Öyster Cult

Blue Öyster Cult

Dragon Lady

Out of the smoke at the dawn of man

Out of the ocean across the sand

Reaching forth with her ancient hand

Dragon lady

Out of the flames of a man's desire

A hair-raising voice from an evil choir

Reigning down like a freezing fire

Dragon lady

She appears mysteriously

You don't take her seriously

Until you're under her spell

Dragon lady takes you by the heart

Dragon lady takes you by the heart

Try to run but before you start

Dragon lady's got you by the heart

Dragon lady takes you by the heart

Dragon lady's got you

She won't let go

Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

When the dragon lady shows you how to fly

Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

When the dragon lady shows you how to cry

Out of the cage in the center ring

Out of the crowd and straight to the king

Who's out of his mind with her mystical thing

Dragon lady

Out of the dream and into the night

A final look makes you die of fright

No one there in the candle light

Dragon lady

She appears outrageously

You take her courageously

Until you're under her spell

Dragon lady takes you by the heart

Dragon lady takes you by the heart

Try to run but before you start

Dragon lady's got you by the heart

Dragon lady takes you by the heart

The dragon lady's got you

And she won't let go

Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

When the dragon lady shows you how to fly

Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

And the dragon lady's laughing as you die
