Dragon Lady

Blue Öyster Cult · The Revolution By Night [1983]

Out of the smoke at the dawn of man

Out of the ocean across the sand

Reaching forth with an ancient hand

Dragon Lady



Out of the flames of a man's desire

A hair-raising voice from an evil choir

Waving down like a crimson fire

Dragon Lady



She appears mysteriously

You don't take her seriously

...until you're under her spell



CHORUS

Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

You try to run but before you start

Dragon Lady's got you by the heart

Dragon Lady takes you by the heart

Dragon Lady's got you

She won't let go



Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

Dragon lady controls you how to fly

(x2)



Out of the page and in the centre ring

Out of the crowd and straight to the king

He's out of his mind with a mystical thing

Dragon Lady



Out of the dream and into the night

A final look makes you die of fright

No-one there in the candlelight

Dragon Lady



She appears outrageously

You take her courageously

Until you're under her spell



CHORUS



Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

The Dragon Lady controls you how to fly

Terrible lightning flashes across the sky

The Dragon Lady says nothing as you die
