Lyrics Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship

Dance With The Dragon

All right

It makes you wanna get away

You know you got to stay

Lookin' for love, but you know it ain't' easy

Lookin' for freedom and everybody needs it

All the young dudes, in jail

Will remember when the laws are finally changed

And they'll wonder, 'bout Oscar

Who spent five years in a Texican jail

What do you say? What about you?

Baby what cha gonna do, 'bout Mary Lou?

She died in Santa Rita

Billy shot it out in Alameda

It makes you wanna get away

You know you got to stay

Lookin' for love but you know it ain't easy

Dance with the dragon it's the year that it breathes

Oh, slow fire, slow fire

'Nam vets, scared yet

Heroes dreams

And broken bayonets

No choice

No voice

I got to find a reason

For my heart to rejoice

Yankee Doodle get it up

And stick a feather in your hat

Yankee Doodle keep it up

And call it macaroni

Yankee Doodle get it up

And stick a feather in your hat

Yankee Doodle keep it up

And call it macaroni

I wanna get away

I know I got to stay

Lookin' for love, but you know it ain't easy

Dance with the dragon it's the year that it breathes

Slow fire, slow fire, all right, dragon year

So clear, the sound of wings burnin' in my ear

Is it the risin' sun? Is it the settin' sun?

Dance with the dragon 'til the year is done

Yankee Doodle get it up

And stick a feather in your hat

Yankee Doodle keep it up

And call it macaroni

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I can see by the smile on your face

That you know what I mean

If you can hear me

Won't you come near me whenever you can?

And it all gets down to love

Love is hard

Love is hard

Love is hard

Love is hard
