Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
Lock all exit doors,
'now I wanna be your dog',
Tape winding up,
High tide rattling off,
Say goodbye
to the friends you brought,
Run with us,
Where I walk now,
Where I walk now,
When I talk now,
When I talk now,
Where I walk now,
Where I walk now,
When I talk,
When I talk,
Flashlights go out,
Stars will light the way,
Like Mexican dogs, nobody gave us names,
Tires burn in the dark,
Mary's beads and the burning heart,
Falling apart,
High tide, kickin' sand,
High tide, we don't race to win
To taste the salt,
Coca cola, cost a quarter,
On my block, On my block,
Coca cola, cost a quarter,
On my block, On my block,
Flashlights go out,
Stars will light the way,
Like Mexican dogs, nobody gave us names
Flashlights go out,
Stars will light the way,
Like Mexican dogs, nobody gave us names
We will chase the bright lights till we're done,
We will chase the bright lights,
We will chase the bright lights till we're done,
We will chase the bright lights,
When I taste the salt,
When I taste the salt,
When I taste the salt,
When I taste the salt,
Mexican dogs
