This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
There's dragons and demons alive in the skies
Their belt buckles, golden shells cover their eyes
If you're a cool-headed kid,
better swallow his pride
When the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
A brain dancing wizard
He's all wrapped up in blue
He's working ----- fat-free
His footwork is too
His shield is in the Muppet show - up to the sky
when the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
uh oh uh oh
Okay, this city is a warzone
unheard of his love
this dangerous fiction will rain from above
But billboards -- go wrapped up and hot
until the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
So keep your eyes to the sky
lining into the door
for the clicking of the heels on the plasticine floor
the sit of upholstery and burning arise
when the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
uh oh uh oh
There's dragons and demons alive in the skies
You can run for the hills but you know you can't hide
If you're trapped in the dark in the blink of an eye
as the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
Their belt buckles, golden shells cover their eyes
If you're a cool-headed kid,
better swallow his pride
When the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
A brain dancing wizard
He's all wrapped up in blue
He's working ----- fat-free
His footwork is too
His shield is in the Muppet show - up to the sky
when the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
uh oh uh oh
Okay, this city is a warzone
unheard of his love
this dangerous fiction will rain from above
But billboards -- go wrapped up and hot
until the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
So keep your eyes to the sky
lining into the door
for the clicking of the heels on the plasticine floor
the sit of upholstery and burning arise
when the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
uh oh uh oh
There's dragons and demons alive in the skies
You can run for the hills but you know you can't hide
If you're trapped in the dark in the blink of an eye
as the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly

Just some corrections (words in parenthesis I am unsure of but can't make heads or tails of)
There's dragons and demons alive in the skies Their belt buckles, golden shells cover their eyes It's a cool-headed kid that can swallow his pride When the fire starts fallin' and the fast bullets fly
