Lyrics
Dog
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your name is gold with diamonds underneath
My name is coal with cheapy copper leaf
And yeah we were doomed, we were doomed, we were doomed
Careful now, just a little rock
Your head is open and lets in all the light
Now would you throw your illumination all over this hot head of mine
Yeah we were doomed, but doom had it's own relief
Build up, build up a wall to set you free
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Like a dog
Or a rat
Like a dog
My arms are open for something I don' t want to think
And will you think they'd invent some puppet to cradle your heart as it breaks
Could you be a pet and just squeeze one out of your eye
I can see you through the waterfall, to me you look perfectly dry
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Like a dog
Or a rat
Like a dog
Careful now, just a little
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Like a dog
Or a rat
Like a dog
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Oh, and it go
Like it always do
Like a dog
