Freight - Chase the Dragon Lyrics

Feeling down from my most recent misadventure
Lookin' to find a way
I hear his roar and see a flash of green
Could this be my day

He swoops down in front of me, says
"Let me give you a ride
Let me show you the world my friend
Let me open up your eyes"

He brings me back and says
"It's been lovely my friend
Until next time I'm sure
We shall meet again"

I walk away and think
About all that has transpired
Oh how I wish to see him again
So that he take me higher

He chased the dragon
Chase the dragon
He chased the dragon
Chase the dragon

It's been a week, maybe more
It's too much to bear
I need him here and I need him now
I'll find him I swear

I hear a roar from far off
And he beckons me to his lair
The same old grin, same old shiny teeth,
The same old cunning glare

He lifts me up and shows me the world, but
It's not the same
No matter what, no matter how,
It doesn't sooth the pain

He brings me down, but I shout "no
That was not enough"
He says "okay, we can go again, but
It'll cost you all your stuff"

He chased the dragon
Chase the dragon
He chased the dragon
Chase the dragon

I sell my car, I sell my wife, I sell my kids, I sell my life
For what I have I need no more
Just help me now and take me higher, what you have well I'm your buyer
I'll take it all and more

He chased the dragon
Chase the dragon
He chased the dragon
Chase the dragon

He takes it all, everything I have
And then he lifts me up
He takes me out, just like before
But still, it's not enough

I need more, he says "I gave you more
I'm sorry for your strife"
I'll plead with him just one more time, he says "okay
But it'll cost you your life"

I chased the dragon (he chased the dragon)
Chase the dragon (don't chase the dragon)
I chased the dragon (he chased the dragon)
Chase the dragon (don't chase the dragon)
