Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a man
Who walked alone
Searching for the girl who had just caught his eye
I was a fool, he cried
His mind had wandered
He blinked and the sky moved ever so slightly
He searched the city and she was
No where to be found
Meanwhile she was floating downward, downward
[Verse 2]
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the one you're thinking of
[Verse 3]
There lies a lady
Naked and yet not knowing
A spell, it gains her heart forever
Preyed upon by the wolves in Time Square
Fell into an abyss of dead air
Innocence caged in sanctuary
There sat the dragon lord
Playing solitary
Defying the rules the holy boys leap Hell's Kitchen
[Verse 4]
Do you want your freedom
Do you want my love
Do you want your freedom
From the man who lives above
[Verse 5]
Suddenly a voice was heard
In a flash the brave young man appeared
The dragon will cut him with his tail
Chased him to the stairway
Caught him halfway to the top
Sent him whirling down, fireball, summer solstice
Dragon lord descended down on him
She turned to look but saw only darkness, silence
[Verse 6]
You don't want your freedom
You don't want my love
You don't want your throat cut by
The same unthinking arm
