Dragon Turtle

Good evening, Ladies and Gentlemen, gather round, gather round
Come one come all, fill up this ground
It's time to start, it's time to go
Welcome to the last, Dragon Turtle show
They've shown you fun, they've shown you love
They've shown you ecstasy, sorrows, oh fuck!
They've shown us it all and they've given us more
And once they're gone, you might feel like a bore
But don't be ashamed no, I beg you, stand tall
Cuz you were here, you saw it all

As the clouds rolled in thick and the thunder struck hard
These giants descended and pillaged our hearts
They took to the streets with their axes and swords
And we all ran in frenzy, sounding our horns
But let me remind you, kind ladies and gents
We ran not in fear but to join them in trench
We ran to their sides to partake in their glory
To aid in their quest and to witness their story

But don't you worry, don't you fret
Forget the past you're about to get
A brand new baby a whole new set
A memory that will make you wet
Now folks, get ready, it's the best one yet
You may not be certain but I'm convinced of it

Be prepared for jaws to drop
For bras to burst
And panties pop
Grown men will cry
And children will screeeam
As the musicians before you
Rewrite your dreams
And cause your brain to tear at its seems
And pour out your ears like memory cream

And as I stand here now before you
You may just think
Who is this prick?
He makes me sick
Well howdy folks you can suck my..
This isn't a trick! This is it!
These guys are farewelling
They're abandoning ship
And I know it may feel like your heart might just rip
But do me a favor and get a grip
On that heart that you hold so damn dear, no more!
And throw it right there at your feet on the floor
And stomp on it, dance, till it's withered and worn
And serve it up on a platter all softened and aged
That is our duty, an ode to their grace

Hold up your glass
Face the stage
Tip your hat
Show some thanks

To a dying race

So as they turn this final bend
The race we've followed, it draws to an end
That's natural, that's life, a cycling trend
My story is over but don't relent
Rise to your feet and get loud my friends
Beautiful people, young and fertile
Cheer for one last stretch, one last hurdle
Before it's, "So long"
For Dragon Turtle!
