I know I seek the dragon
So I head straight to downtown
Try to medicate my frown
Listen to Ben Harper’s words
Of Shakespeare on love and pain
Only if the world could see
The sun through the rain
“Belike for want of rain,
Which I could well beteem it
From the tempest of my eyes,”
It was easy to act like Helena as a child
When I could feel her pains and cries.
Time to seek the dragon
So that she can numb the lies.
