Sometimes the Dragon Wins Lyrics

Made my way to a life in a small country town

My pushbike was the only way I got around

One brother, two sisters and then there was me

When you walk along the tracks you see what you see

I played with my posse and I hunted with my pack

I tried every game from there and back Took myself to lessons but it weren't much fun

When all you wanna be is a fucking ski bum

I lived and I worked up on Herpes Hill And got myself out before I got ill

Then I was a drifter and what will be, will be

Somehow ended up at the Cops Academy

Every time you reach a certain point in your life

Looking back's the biggest cause of future strife

Don't let the past be the driver of your ride

Maximum effort forward if you're gonna survive

A decade passed with an office on the road I made people pay for the debts that they owed

Bullied by my brothers and often set up The lines always thin when you don't give a fuck

Medicine was calling into uni I strayed

Sat some sort of test and my course was paid

Back in the breach and on the front lines Medical life was a fucking good time

Soon enough it all comes crashing down In the empire you built lies shattered on the ground

It's not hard to talk but you have to want to

Black dog, mind fog, battered and blue

Every time you reach a certain point in your life

Looking back's the biggest cause of future strife

Don't let the past be the driver of your ride

Maximum effort forward if you're gonna survive

My life's gone quiet, a decision I've made No power bills and my water's from the rain

Some say I walked away from the pointy end

But I ran as fast as I could and hid round the bend

Even though you hide away, your mind's still sharp

The dangers can arise if you think about the past

Corporate experiences blew up my brain That catastrophic incident opened flooding rains

Legal battles over, families bereft Vultures have flown and there's only bones left

I look up above as I pay for my sins

And then I know that sometimes the dragon wins

Every time you reach a certain point in your life

Looking back's the biggest cause of future strife

Don't let the past be the driver of your ride

Maximum effort forward if you're gonna survive

With flaming breath and leathery wings

Sometimes, sometimes the dragon wins

I tell you, ego, Vidi Diaboli

On the level means most certainly means

I have seen the devil,

sometimes the dragon wins

Sometimes the dragon wins

Sometimes the dragon wins

Sometimes the dragon wins

The dragon always wins

The dragon always wins

The dragon always wins

The dragon always wins

The dragon always wins
