In League with Dragons - The Mountain Goats

It’s so hard to get revenge

The human element drags you down

Lead a solitary life if you can

Try not to show your face in town

Let the rulers find such breaches as they may

Reckon up the variables

Find a way to make it real

Make a deal

Until my protector comes

It’s so hard to be yourself

When you’ve already seen the inside

Try to navigate the turns as best you can

Headed on down the slide

Good friends are where you find them

People talk all kinds of trash

Never you mind them

Make it real

Make a deal

Until my protector comes

Huge wings blotting out the sun

Remembering everyone

It’s so hard to look away

You gotta be strong in the face of suffering

Cut a good figure just in case somebody’s watching

Even if it ends up meaning nothing

Let the breezes split such scandal as they may

Maybe Boris Vallejo paints

The back of your head someday

Make it real

You make a deal

Until my protector comes
