Chasing Dragons

Adrienne Nightingale
She’s outside begging for change
She smiles at me, and looks the other way
She wants my quarter, my nickel or my dime
She looks like she’s running out of time
and I pass her by.

I saw her here yesterday,
wearing the same clothes, begging the same way
She said she needs a bus ticket home
I think I know just where she’s gonna go
She’s going out to chase dragons

Fast forward five hours, now shes downtown
Money in the pocket, waitin’ around
It’s dinner tiem shes ot nothing to eat
But she don’t care, she’s got a habit to feed
It looks like she’s chasing dragons
It looks like she’s chasing dragons
She’s chasing dragons.
