Dog and Pony

dog and pony

empty our cabinet

you never forget

you never come back the same

each time you go up in flames

each time you begin to blame

you never come back the same

just a little bit more love...for me

just a little bit more love...but it's alright

don't cry, my sweet

you were born

unto me, I'm torn

unto me, I'm worn

unto me, unworn

so I danced my dance

and I kissed your hands

and I took a chance

and we fell into a trance

just a little bit more love...for me

just a little bit more love...but it's alright

don't cry...my sweet

say one, two, three...

you sitting on the rooftop

me begging here on my knees

I stayed in love with you

you're just falling in love with me

and darling you know that ain't right

so if love never lasts forever ever

little brother

little lover

twist these strings of fate

there is no clean slate

so I'm carting away

all of myself

in this metal crate

and my dog and my pony

and my empty file cabinet

you never forget

you never come back quite the same

each time you go up in flames

each time you begin to blame

you never come back quite the same

just a little bit of true love...for me

just a little bit more love...but it's alright

don't cry...my sweet
