Lyrics

Verse 1:

I’m a dragon in a playpen

That’s why I never fit in

Guess it’s not a problem

At least I fear no one…

I’m thinking of a painter

A famous entertainer

Said he’d paint your savior

He’s off in heavy metal slumber…

Chorus:

Who knew the blues could be dangerous?

Our dreams are naked every night

You got the right to get vandalized

For forty days and forty nights…

Verse:

Grow some wings in the bone machine

Cut yourself, that’s a way to get clean

Take the plunge, only the dumb will stay

It’s all just hell on a holiday…

I’m thinking of a painter

Who said he’d entertain us

He had so much promise

All his mistakes were just so priceless…

Chorus
