Dance with the Dragon Lyrics by Jefferson Starship

Spitfire

All right
It makes you wanna get away
You know you got to stay
Looking for love, but you know it ain't easy
Looking 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 rising 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
