Lyrics

Dragon Ships

I wish I was a man on a western land

I'd dig my spurs into the western sand

I'd dig on the view across the big red sky

Dig my axe into a pine and watch the chips fly

I'm gonna go this time, I know

The city's got me feeling like a motherfuckah

This one is it after I quit

I can't write a love song worth shit

I wish I was a Viking in 1103

I'd fuck up shit on the high cold sea

Did you know that the Vikings were always ripped?

They kept a lot of drugs on their dragon ships

I'm gonna go this time, I know

The city's got me feeling like a motherfuckah

This one is it after I quit

I can't write a love song worth shit

I wish I had a tape recorder

I'd tape everything I ever said

Ba ba ba ba ba ba

I'm gonna go this time, I know

The city's got me feeling like a motherfuckah

This one is it after I quit

I can't write a love song worth shit

I'm gonna go this time, I know

The city's got me feeling like a motherfuckah

This one is it after I quit

I can't write a love song worth shit

I'm gonna go this time, I know

The city's got me feeling like a motherfuckah

This one is it after I quit

I can't write a love song worth shit

I'm gonna go this time, I know

The city's got me feeling like a motherfuckah

This one is it after I quit

I can't write a love song worth shit

This one is it

This one is it
