Year Of The Dragon Lyrics - Simple Minds

(Martha's song on The McGarrigle Hour CD from 1998) 

Here comes the daddy 

He's gonna knock me off my feet 

Here comes the daddy 

He's gonna knock us off our feet 

Won't have to push too hard with me 

I'm at the time these days where I'm easy 

I will take the plunge & I will fall 

I'll get up when I hit the floor 

Falling down 

Watching the world rise above my head 

Sky opens & something somewhere 

Becomes dead 

Becomes dead 

Something's born

Natural or environmental 

My freewheeling towards the emotional 

I will not hoard my chips 

I will put them all on the table 

I will win them back 

I know that I'm able 

I was born in the Year of The Dragon 

The one to prize 

Where everything & everybody 

Is on my side 

I've got you on my side 

Photos 

Twenty one is a good age to be 

Forgiven your faults & praised 

For the newness of one of your ideas 

Some people hate me 

They say that I'm too free 

But one day soon I'll be just like them 

And hate people just like me 

So let me be 

Ah...
