Year of the Dragon

I remember the sound of your momma's voice
She said "there ain't no spell hotter than a young desire"
So we fell hard, never had a choice
Went up like a house fire

The king of the lost boys, playing soldier
With the queen of hearts laid on his shoulder

I'd slam a screen door, hop in the war wagon
Grab the keys to your heart and turn the engine on
Oh baby, I'm your one knight standing in the year of the dragon
So don't wake up asking to leave the porch light on

I remember the neon and the noise
The trouble at the starting line
When I told that judge I didn't have a choice
He said I should've read the warning signs

It all happened so fast, babe
The boy was bleeding
I saw the gun in your hand, babe
And you were screaming

I slammed a screen door, hopped in the war wagon
Grabbed the keys to your heart and turned the engine on
Oh baby, I'm your one knight standing in the year of the dragon
Now I wake up asking to leave the porch light on

Honey it's so good to hear your voice
Am I coming through the phone alright?
You know I took the fall, I made a choice
Get a look at the world in black and white
It's a kingdom of hard luck, East of Eden
But I'm holding you now, love, when I'm dreaming

I slam a screen door, hop in the war wagon
Grab the keys to your heart and turn the engine on
Oh baby, I'm your one knight standing in the year of the dragon
All I'm asking is leave the porch light on
