Dragon Tree

Here's one that you don't wanna miss
French friends and a run and a kiss
Will keep you up until dawn
Cool down not down on the ground
Hot shots been getting around
You got to be getting it on

Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and don't get caught weeping
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine

Some things, the smaller the worse
Best take this fall in reverse
Why don't you give me a call?
I'll post this letter to you
Got nothing better to do
When did this world get so small?

Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows that mountain is steep
Take another blow and don't get caught weeping
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows that mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine

Now the clowns and the tourists have gone for good
All the sounds, all the promise misunderstood
'cause when the dogs and the babies climb the dragon tree
You know the clowns and the tourists will disagree

You sip a good conversation like some vintage wine
Be the pride of the nation in the grand design
They announce that the cure is the only track
And so the clowns and the tourists sure won't be back

Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and don't get caught weeping
Everybody knows you're playing for keeps
Everybody knows the mountain is steep
Take another blow and climb up that tree now
Beep goes the machine
