In League with Dragons by The Mountain Goats Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's so hard to get revenge
The human element drags you down
Lead a solitary life, if you can
Try not to show your face in town
Let the rumors find such bridges as they may
Reckon up the variables
Find a way

[Refrain]
Make it real, make a deal
Until my protector comes

[Verse 2]
It's so hard to be yourself
When you've already seen the inside
Try to navigate the turns as best you can
Headed on down the slide
Strong friends are where you find them
People talk all kinds of trash, never you mind them
[Refrain]
Make it real, make a deal
Until my protector comes

[Bridge]
Huge wings blotting out the sun
Remembering everyone

[Verse 3]
Be so hard to look away
Gotta be strong in the face of suffering
Cut a good figure just in case somebody's watching
Even if it ends up meaning nothing
Let the breezes spread such scandal as they may
Maybe Boris Vallejo paints the back of your head someday

[Refrain]
Make it real, make a deal
Until my protector comes
