lyrics
Oh you sell insurance
That’s really great
And does it pay you well
But do you hate to tell
And do you veil the smell
And just wait for hell?
Ooh you’re a designer
That’s really cool
So do you make big shots
And do you think deep thoughts
And do you ride to town
With a measured frown?
Me, I’m snuffing dragons
It’s not really bragging if it’s true
It’s just a job that I do
When I’m feeling ready
I snatch up my machete and I go
Down to Mexico
Where the dragons lay low
Most people don’t know
Oh, you’re a mechanic
How about that
I guess you’re good with your hands
You only like hard bands
I bet you’re in demand
In the motherland
Whoah, not for profit!
I am impressed
And by the way you dress
You don’t care about success
I’m a little ashamed
I only duck jet flame
Me, I’m Chucking dragons
It’s not really bragging ‘cause it’s true
Why would I lie to you?
When I’m rough and tumble
I pinch my brass knuckles and I fly
Montevideo, Uruguay
Where the dragons stay high
And nobody asks why
God damn, the mouth
That’s a dangerous thing
She breathes fire
And not like a sexual thing
We can’t bone if I’m just a pile of ash
And it’s not too smart if you get too attached
Let’s go back to my cave
I got hamlets to save
We can rustle a feast
Before I take on the beast
Now that you know me
What do you think now?
That’s really great
And does it pay you well
But do you hate to tell
And do you veil the smell
And just wait for hell?
Ooh you’re a designer
That’s really cool
So do you make big shots
And do you think deep thoughts
And do you ride to town
With a measured frown?
Me, I’m snuffing dragons
It’s not really bragging if it’s true
It’s just a job that I do
When I’m feeling ready
I snatch up my machete and I go
Down to Mexico
Where the dragons lay low
Most people don’t know
Oh, you’re a mechanic
How about that
I guess you’re good with your hands
You only like hard bands
I bet you’re in demand
In the motherland
Whoah, not for profit!
I am impressed
And by the way you dress
You don’t care about success
I’m a little ashamed
I only duck jet flame
Me, I’m Chucking dragons
It’s not really bragging ‘cause it’s true
Why would I lie to you?
When I’m rough and tumble
I pinch my brass knuckles and I fly
Montevideo, Uruguay
Where the dragons stay high
And nobody asks why
God damn, the mouth
That’s a dangerous thing
She breathes fire
And not like a sexual thing
We can’t bone if I’m just a pile of ash
And it’s not too smart if you get too attached
Let’s go back to my cave
I got hamlets to save
We can rustle a feast
Before I take on the beast
Now that you know me
What do you think now?
