Caught the lights of a taxi and headed straight for the center of town Jumped a train in north before the law even heard I was 'round I ran hard from the station to the street to where I was born Found the backdoor still open I heard you sleepin' in a room down the hall Mama said it's stranger when I switched from school to the door but Mama I'm still searching the streets for my soul Still searchin' searchin' yeah Happy birthday Momma I got you some heat from the city streets 'Cause down there they'll burn your soul for a gram of the dragons teeth And I've got fire in my hands and a scream in my heart like a baby Crying out for the sweet cool of your touch help me God I can't be this crazy I can hear the sirens closing in I can hear the sirens closing in I can hear the sirens closing in Forgive me momma I've got the dragon in my skin Mama said it's stranger when I asked you if my life was dull but Mama I'm still searching the streets for my soul Mama I'm still searching the streets for my soul Mama I'm still searching the streets for my soul Mama I'm still searching the streets for my soul
