I think it's about two artists of some sort (musician, actor, etc) trying to make it big. I think the narrators friend is semi-successful whereas the narrator is good at a dead art (rusty wagon compared to a dead horse).
Don't have a clue what Iron Dragon means. The song functions through kind of medieval imagery, so maybe it's intended to mean the friend becomes powerful in their artistic arena. But that's an absolute guess.
