No Fear, Dragon Here

(album: Del Water Gap - 2012)

I met a man who was an artist
But his parents told him not to chase his dreams
Now he's cooking lunch for high school punks and teachers
And the kids they never ask him how he's been
Yeah, the kids they never ask him how he's been

Don't you ask me to settle in
Don't you ask this of me
Keep your body listening, I'll keep you close to me
I wanna warm your mother's heart, the way we used to be
I wanna warm your mother's heart, and your father's heart

We were friends, we were more
We were lying on the floor and you asked me
"Will you want me in the morning?"
Take me in, take me home
Somewhere we could be alone
And put your lipstick back
I'll take you as you are

I met a girl on the subway
Yeah I waited half an hour in the wind
But she left me broke with none to smoke but my feeling
If I see her again I'll just ask her where she's been

Now I don't mean to sound pessimistic
Cause the cynic weaves his curtains full of lies
And troubadours are nothing more than preachers
In the end we're all just sad and weak inside
In the end we're all just sad and weak inside

Don't you ask me to settle in
Don't you ask this of me
Keep your body listening, I'll keep you close to me
I wanna warm your mother's heart, the way we used to be
I wanna warm your mother's heart, and your father's heart

Be my muse, who's your man
Wash him clean with dirty hands
And lick your wounds until he finally goes away
Take me in, take me home

Somewhere we could be alone
And put your lipstick back
I'll take you as you are

This is war, I'm no man
Wash your number from my hands
I don't wanna watch my family fall apart
Take me in, you're my home
Maybe we could be alone
And put your lipstick back
I'll take you as you are
And put your lipstick back
I'll take you as you are
