I struggle here
I’d rather be anywhere else but here
(But) My dark side always knows what to say
Drifting over in a red dress
And now I’m drowning in your Loch Ness
All the gold woven in my toga pulls me down; you watch me struggle
All throughout the hot savannah, the lioness hunts in the moonlight
Wounded deeply, I bleed, searching for fire in the night
I see you look at me like I’m meat
Tell me I’m wrong, you know I’m right
Tell me I’m wrong, you know I’m right
Tell me I’m wrong, you know I’m right
I’d rather be anywhere else but here
(But) My dark side always knows what to say
I feel like fried chicken at a house painter’s lunch
You think you’re being nice; it’s all a bit much
You think you’re being nice; it’s all a bit much
You think you’re being nice; it’s all a bit much
I’d rather be anywhere else but here

Think you know what you’re doing
You don’t know what you doing
Never did
Every day brings the same kind of sunshine
Shining on you, kid
Take the blame for the world don’t ya?
Shoulder the whole fucking universe
Beat the Dragon
Beat the fucking Dragon
Beat him in a race
Beat him in the face
Beat him where he’s found
Beat him underground
Beat the fucking Dragon
Beat him on down
Whatcha got to lose anyway?
There’s a thread to all this
Hang me for a smart ass just mentionin’ it
But there really is
Now if I could just remember it
Lookin’ for that the whole goddamn time
Godfreeit
The whole goddamn time
Beat the Dragon
Beat the fucking Dragon
Beat him in the ass
Yeah, you better do it
Beat him fast
Beat him where he’s found
Beat him underground
Beat the fucking Dragon
Yeah, beat him on down
Beat him on down

Not everything’s like riding a bicycle
Not every horse can be got back on
Not every crash can you walk right out of
Not everything can be said in a song
We’ve got triage for a reason
(And) Not everyone survives
Not everyone can be even steven
Not everything can be said and done/We go
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper…
Not every vessel can be ship-shape
Not everyone can weather the storm/We go
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper…
Shiloah or Swindlepane…
We’ve got triage for a reason
(And) Not everyone survives
Not everyone can be even steven
Not everything can be said in a song
Shiloah or Swindlepane…
We’ve got triage for a reason/We go
Deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper…
Shiloah or Swindlepane…
