Chasing one more Dragon
The poison apple glow
The Devil loves a madman
When the monkey's in control
Bye bye Love ever after
Lost my everything
Try to keep my head above water
And not the bottom of the bottle and sink, yeah

Don't you cry
Don't sing me your sad lullabies
It's a hard rain
But it's gonna be okay

My heart's on mend
From needles and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I finally get the joke
But under my skin
I'm still fragile

When there's no one left to dance with
And the ghosts tap on my back
I click my heels for Kansas
And pull a rabbit right out of the hat
I get by
Looking through star-spangled eyes
These are hard times
But it's gonna be okay

My heart's on mend
From secrets and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I finally get the joke
But under my skin
I'm still fragile

I'm still afraid if I fall from grace
I'd give myself away
And your faith and your trust in me will be broken (broken)

My heart's on mend
From needles and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I finally get the joke
But under my skin

My heart's on mend
From secrets and sins
I'm shallow breathing in
Crawled out of the hole
I'm back in the show
I get the joke
But under my skin
I'm still fragile
I'm still fragile, fragile

Mr. Big

Mr. Big is an American hard rock supergroup formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1988. The band was originally composed of Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar, backing vocals), Billy Sheehan (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Pat Torpey (drums, percussion, backing vocals). They are noted especially for their music, and have scored a number of hits. Their songs are often marked by strong vocals and vocal harmonies. Their hits include “To Be with You” (a number-one single in 15 countries in 1992) and “Just Take My Heart”. The band takes its name from a song by Free, which it covered on the 1993 album Bump Ahead.

Mr. Big remained active and popular for over a decade despite internal conflicts and changing music trends, releasing four studio Mr. Big (1989), Lean into It (1991), Bump Ahead (1993) and Hey Man (1996). Guitarist Paul Gilbert departed the band in 1999, and Richie Kotzen was brought as a guitarist and vocalist. The band released two more albums with this Get Over It (1999) and Actual Size (2001). Mr. Big broke up in 2002.

Following requests from fans, Mr. Big reunited with its original line-up in 2009. The band’s first post-reunion tour was in Japan. In 2010, Mr. Big released its first album in 15 years with the same What If…. During the recording of the follow-up album …The Stories We Could Tell (2014), Pat Torpey was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and participated only marginally as a drum producer and touring support. The band’s ninth album, Defying Gravity (2017), was its last record involving Torpey; he died the following year. Not wanting to continue without Torpey, the band intends to release a final studio album, conduct a farewell tour and disband.
