Dragon Tree - Naomi, Chris Zippel

Here’s one that you don’t wanna miss

French friends and a run and a kiss

Will keep you up until dawn

Cool down not down on the ground

Hot shots been getting around

You got to be getting it on

Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps

Everybody knows the mountain is steep

Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping

Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps

Everybody knows the mountain is steep

Take another blow and climb up that tree now

Beep goes the machine

Some things, the smaller the worse

Best take this fall in reverse

Why don’t you give me a call?

I’ll post this letter to you

Got nothing better to do

When did this world get so small?

Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps

Everybody knows that mountain is steep

Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping

Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps

Everybody knows that mountain is steep

Take another blow and climb up that tree now

Beep goes the machine

Now the clowns and the tourists have gone for good

All the sounds, all the promise misunderstood

'cause when the dogs and the babies climb the dragon tree

You know the clowns and the tourists will disagree

You sip a good conversation like some vintage wine

Be the pride of the nation in the grand design

They announce that the cure is the only track

And so the clowns and the tourists sure won’t be back

Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps

Everybody knows the mountain is steep

Take another blow and don’t get caught weeping

Everybody knows you’re playing for keeps

Everybody knows the mountain is steep

Take another blow and climb up that tree now

Beep goes the machine
