Jefferson Starship Dance With The Dragon lyrics

 
All right
It makes you wanna get away,
You know you got to stay.
Looking for love, but you know it aint' easy.
Lookin' for freedom and everybody needs it.
All the young dudes, in jail,
Will remember when the laws are finally changed,
And they'll wonder, 'bout Oscar,
Who spent five years in a Texican jail.
What do you say?
What about you?
Baby what-cha gonna do, 'bout Mary Lou?
She died in Santa Rita, Billy shot it out in Alameda.
It makes you wanna get away,
You know you got to stay.
Lookin' for love but you know it ain't easy.
Dance with the dragon it's the year that it breathes.
Oh slow fire. slow fire,
'Nam vets, scared yet,
Heroes dreams and broken bayonets.
No choice,
No voice,
I got to find a reason for my heart to rejoice.
Yankee Doodle get it up,
And stick a feather in your hat.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
And call it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle get it up,
And stick a feather in your hat.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
And call it macaroni.
(Break)
I wanna get away,
I know I got to stay.
Lookin' for love, but you know it ain't easy.
Dance with the dragon it's the year that it breathes
Slow Fire. Slow Fire.
All Right.
Dragon year,
So clear,
The sound of wings burnin' in my ear.
Is it the rising sun,
Is it the settin' sun?
Dance with the dragon 'til the year is done.
Yankee Doodle get it up,
And stick a feather in your hat.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
And call it macaroni,
Yeah Yeah Yeah.
I can see by the smile on your face that you know what I mean.
If you can hear me, won't you come near me whenever you can?
And it all gets down to love.
Love is hard.
Love is hard.
Love is hard.
Love is hard.

Dance With The Dragon meanings

The song, written in 1976, shows kantner's continuing interest in chinese horoscopes (the album cover has a dragon on it), also apparent from the 1974 song ride the tiger. 1976 was the year of the dragon & the dragon is said to be a deliverer of good fortune. There are references to the after effects of the vietnam war on american society & insecurities still felt, so perhaps he was looking to the dragon to bring a change in fortune, hence the line "i got to find a reason for my heart to rejoice". I've no idea about the other references to oscar, mary lou & billy, but the hope of the laws finally changing is looking forward to a relaxation of the rules of some sort, perhaps referring to the consumption of narcotics, but certainly more freedom, which is a constant airplane/starship theme (& rightly so). The reference to macaroni? Your guess is as good as mine, but maybe it was added for a joke!
