Dragons Awake! Lyrics

Dragons Awake!
Take me through the voodoo, Buddha
You are the King of Things
I am a fake

Over the treetops
An automan
And automatic girl

Predator skin an orangutan alive
I have two eyes
Sprinkle the pearls over the ham

Grand Peter, Might it be the
Pipes of Pan?

Softer tits will great you
But they have been tapped
By suckers of the sap

Now I'm going home
In the distance I can see them
Proudly waving flags

To separate and free them

Dragons Awake!
Forever and ever
For everyone to see

-Amen

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

These seem like good not-evil dragons. Like that one in Neverending Story. I wouldn't mind seeing them

This is another word collage by R. Pollard. Quite fun.

I definitely think this song is about playing pretend/imagination based games with children, where you take household items and create fantasy. I totally picture Pollard diving over furniture with his kids and making up stories about dragons and god knows what else.
