Don't mess with the dragon Don't mess with the dragon Don't mess with the dragon Don't mess with the dragon Don't mess with the You dig in; you're dug in now; you cry for help But can someone really year? You're pulling; you're tugging, trying to save yourself But no one seems to care When you walk the world alone, whoa, whoa Will you find your way back home? [Chorus] Don't mess with the dragon Don't mess with the dragon Don't mess with the dragon Don't mess with the dragon You're falling; you're crawling, searching in the dark Your heart is full of fear You're crying; you're tryin', want to find yourself But you can't look in the mirror When you walk that lonesome road, whoa, whoa Don't forget your heart's your home [Chorus] When you walk that lonesome road Don't forget your heart's your home [Chorus: x2]
