Ray Wylie Hubbard - Crimson Dragon Tattoo Lyrics

Ray Wylie Hubbard Lyrics

"Crimson Dragon Tattoo"

I have a crimson dragon tattoo
It burns on my arm like the truth
The red ink is in my skin its on my soul too
I have a crimson dragon tattoo

21 silver dollars is what it cost
Drawn by a fast left hand when I was lost
I did not choose a heart, a rose or a cross
21 silver dollars is what it cost

Sometimes it whispers my name
And tells me that this life is just a game
Whom the gods wish to destroy, first they drive insane
Sometimes it whispers my name

I have a crimson dragon tattoo
It burns on my arm like the truth
The red ink is in my skin its on my soul too
I have a crimson dragon tattoo
I have a crimson dragon tattoo
