Queen talks

"It's my favourite song."

John Deacon - 1982

"Done very late one night probably to the morning, probably very drunk."

Brian May - 1984

"As a drummer, you need a sense of time, a sense of rhythm, a sort of inner clock and that you really need naturally. You have to have aggression and lastly I would say you definitely need stamina. But you do learn tricks, apart from the fact that you develop more stamina, your muscles get more used to what's demanded of them. We used to do a song called 'Dragon Attack' that was very hard on the right wrist."

Roger Taylor - 1993

"It was put together in an unusual way. We just jammed for a while and put down the basic riff."

Brian May - 2000

Lyrics

Take me to the room where the red's all red
Take me out of my head, that's what I said yeah
Hey take me to the room where the green's all green
And from what I've seen it's hot it's mean

Gonna use my stack
It's gotta be Mack
Gonna get me on the track
Got a dragon on my back

Take me to the room where the beat's all round
Gonna eat that sound (yeah yeah yeah!)
Take me to the room where the black's all white
And the white's all black take me back to the shack

She don't take no prisoners
Gonna give me the business
Got a dragon on my back
It's a dragon attack

Get down, I said so
Hey hey, All right

She's low down
She don't take no prisoners
Go down
Gonna give me the business
No time
Yeah chained to the rack!
Show time
Got a dragon on my back
Show down
Go find another customer
Slow down
I gotta make my way
