lyrics

Your Dog’s a Good Man

Oh, your dog’s a good man
until he gets bored I’ll stay if I can
a light wind is pushing his coat and his ears
I was grilling you for details but not anymore

Oh, my head is abuzz
I perpetually juggle the heart and the grudge
a giant waterfall of information
took me an hour to notice the weather

And oh, you’re a sight for dead eyes
a hero of the story, trenchantly
a hero in the true sense of the word
oh, to sense the use of a useless word

Through the open door, arms flailing
this is another big moment for me
straight out of the gate, mouth shooting off
this is another interview with me
saw myself staggering to get to you
from the balcony
I took a chance
coming over here
you can’t help but take a chance

Oh, my friend, I've been here too long
a strong wind is pushing the past from behind
between us, a history, a glorious dance
between us, your dog’s fur, a glorious dance

I’m losing the sense of my size
am I the tip of my fingers or the lens of my eyes?
I’m struggling to keep my essentials informed
as if my inner circle really needed the nonsense

And oh, where to begin?
It’s been static forever
where to begin?
Go on and deprive me of information
when I can’t help myself I just make a projection
