Iron Dragon Lyrics

It took ten years to get there
Twenty more to come back
To your war

And when I fired up my only flare
You instructed your battalions
To ignore

It was the longest game of chicken;
Who would be the first
To blink first?

Thank God I had a bucket to get sick in
Your injection couldn't
Make me fell worse

From the hills I saw you in your courtyard
Crazed for merry drink
And the nights here give me
Too much time to think
To think about the day

You hitched your horse to a rusty wagon
I hitched my wagon to a dead horse
Iron Dragon, won't you stay as a matter of course?
Iron Dragon, won't you stay 'til the end of the wars?

If I could only find a star to put my wish in
I'd be the main attraction
That you're due

I remember the words of your magician;
"You gotta melt down fifty jokers
To make a fool"

From here i see you fortifying
For a cold December
And it hits me now
That you might not remember
Remember the time

You hitched your horse to a rusty wagon
I hitched my wagon to a dead horse
Iron Dragon, won't you stay as a matter of course?
Iron Dragon, won't you stay 'til the end of the wars?

How will this be recorded?
Will it be a big display
In the museum?

Will my loyalty be rewarded?
Or will they just say
"must've sucked to be him"?

Whoever finds my scribbles
Well I hope you read to the end
Cause in the end
I reunite with my old friend

You hitched your horse to a rusty wagon
I hitched my wagon to a dead horse
Iron Dragon, won't you stay as a matter of course?
Iron Dragon, won't you stay 'til the end of the wars?

Save the world, save the world
I'm the new Michael Jackson
Save the world, save the world
Save the world

Save the world, save the world
I'm the new Michael Jackson
Save the world, save the world
Save the world
