You Turned Into A Dragon

[Verse 1]
I hadn't known you long enough
But just like that, I fell in love
And lookin' back, I wish somehow I'd thought it through
But with forever on my mind
I left my sanity behind
And on my shoulder, got a small tattoo of you

[Pre-Chorus]
With your hair in the wind and your eyes lookin' somewhere far away
It was just what you wanted the artist to portray

[Chorus]
You'd finally got your claws in me
One time, I overheard you braggin'
It was a pretty tattoo, but just like you
It turned into a dragon

[Verse 2]
So I decided we were through
And when I broke the news to you
You took it even harder than I thought you would
Then right before my very eyes
I watched you metamorphosize
Until the one I thought I'd loved was gone for good

[Pre-Chorus]
All the screams and the threats and the calls in the middle of the night
Only proved my decision to break up with you was right

[Chorus]
Soon, you were breathin' smoke and flame
And your scaly tail was waggin'
And with a skillful hand, the tattoo man
Turned you into a dragon

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And when my hair has turned to grey
And my skin is old and saggin'
I'll have a faded tattoo that looked like you
But turned into a dragon
