Actually it is about a drug addiction. The other guy had it completely right, it's about opium (heroin). I didn't think so at first but after you do some research "chasing the dragon" is a term used in prison life, drug dealers were often referred to as dragons, thus if you are searching for a high then you are chasing the dragon. Also, the dragon is was referred as the trail of smoke that is created when you heat up things like opium.
beautiful song, i definitely overplay it on my ipod =]
