georgie and the dragons

Ed Motta

You collect the scars
So early
You moonlight saw
But touched not

You who
Didn't go home quickly
Running
By the rails laughing

There were
Always dragons
On the highstreet
I didn't see them
I couldn't do it
Did you

You that didn't deal
Next chances
You scattered seeds
To pavement

You who couldn't pull
No punches
Court house Friday
Walk Monday

Hiding out of view
You hear them dragons
I closed my eyes
And i couldn't do it
Did you

George killed
Them dragons
One by one
And two by two
Basement bars
And every day
All in his name

Abel's brother Cain
And Georgie
Standing by the bar
Waiting

You fought Nelson Briggs
On Sunday
Who felt
The whole street watching

There's still
Them dragons
On the highstreet
I sometimes see them
I closed my eyes
But did you

George killed
Them dragons
One by one
And two by two
Did you loose it
Some of your name
