"Crimson Dragon Tattoo" Lyrics

(Ray Wylie Hubbard)
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.

Twenty-one 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
Twenty-one 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...
