"Christmas Is Going To The Dogs"

"Christmas Is Going To The Dogs"



Get off your sled and go to bed
Don't you ever tire?
Throw a bone i'm finally home
Curled up by the fire
Snow is falling from the sky
Like ashes from an urn
Sweet dreams my little one
Now it's my turn

Well christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew

Now when i sleep i like to dream
Of rabbits in the snow
Jumping right into my jaws
From their rabbit holes
Take one home and set him down
Right next to you shoes
Wake up to a big surprise
My gift to you

And christmas is going to the dogs
We'd rather have chew toys than yule logs
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew

And christmas is going to the dogs
We're scarfing down the turkey and eggnog
And things aren't looking very good it's true
So i'll just lay here and chew
So i'll just stay here and chew

"Climbing To The Moon"

"Climbing To The Moon"



So i wrote it all in a letter
But i don't know if it came
The nurse she likes my writing
So she keeps it just like me
So that it won't get away

I won't be denied this time
'fore i go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And i'm climbing up to the moon

Got a sky that looks like heaven
Got an earth that looks like shit
And it's getting hard to tell where
What i am ends
And what they're making me begins

I won't be denied this time
'fore i go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And i'm climbing up to the moon

Saturday in the yard
They'll bring you by
We'll lay down on the grass
And watch as the sky closes in

I won't be denied this time
'fore i go out of my mind over matters
Got my foot on the ladder
And i'm climbing up to the moon

"Daisies Of The Galaxy"

"Daisies Of The Galaxy"



Take heart, my little friend
And push back your seat
Soon we'll be far away
Far from the street
Where you learned how to be
Not what you are

Up on the shoulder
There is a town
With a little motel
And an old movie house
We'll go to a movie
Whatever it is

Watching the movie
The world's gonna end
And there ain't a place for
A boy and his friend
To go

I'll pick some daisies
From the flower bed
Of the galaxy theater
While you clear your head
I thought some daisies
Might cheer you up

"Day I Wrote You Off"

"Day I Wrote You Off"



I saw some photos of a happy family
Hanging up on the thrift shop wall
I paid the man and i brought them back home
I feel better now when they don't call

Every once in a while
I see your face when i stare at the ceiling

I truly regret
The day i wrote you off

Always dreamed that one day i'd leave home
And now i do it again and again
And here i go looking for my new home
Or shall i say looking for a best friend

Every once in a while
I see your face when i stare at the ceiling

I truly regret
The day i wrote you off

"Dead Of Winter"

"Dead Of Winter"



Standing in the dark outside the house
Breathing in the cold and sterile air
Well i was thinking how it must feel
To see that little light
And watch it as it disappears
And fades into
And fades into the night

So i know you're going pretty soon
Radiation sore throat got your tongue
Magic markers tattoo you
And show it where to aim
And strangers break their promises
You won't feel any
You won't feel any pain

And the streets are jammed with cars
Rockin' their horns
To race to the wire
Of the unfinished line

Thought that i'd forget all about the past
But it doesn't let me run too fast
And i just wanna stand outside
And know that this is right
And this is true
And i will not
Fade into
Fade into the night

Standing here in the dark

"Dead Reckoning"

"Dead Reckoning"



Flying through the dark
Dead reckoning
My gages can't be trusted
Can't see a goddamn thing

I know the day is coming
That catches up with me
I told you you're no match
But then who could be

Thought we were the lonely type
On an island of the lost
But it was only me
Because you got lost

I can't change you
I can't change anyone

"Dirty Girl"

"Dirty Girl"



I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Someone that i can believe
We had a window not open too long
But that time is good and gone

And if i ever see her again
Just walking by with some new guy
I know that we will need to pretend
And hope our eyes keep telling lies

Sit on the back porch and wonder 'bout her
What is she doing right now
Making somebody a happier man
Dying her hair back to brown

Once in a while your life gets so good
Worth all the trouble of the past
That was the case but i think i always knew
Good things don't ever last

And if i ever see her again
Just walking by with some new guy
I know that we will need to pretend
And hope our eyes keep telling lies

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Know that i can trust her
We had our time but it didn't last too long
And that time is good and gone
That time is good and gone

"Dog Faced Boy"

"Dog Faced Boy"



Coming home from the school today
Crying all along the way
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Begging ma to shave me please

You little punks think you own this town
Well someday someone's gonna bring you down
Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy

You take back what you said now
That's the last time i cry
You don't know what it is to be a friend now
'til i walk beside you on the street now

Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy

Life ain't pretty for a dog faced boy

Going back to the school tomorrow
Hang my hairy head in sorrow
Ain't no way for a boy to be
Ain't no way to set me free now

Ma won't shave me
Jesus can't save me
Dog faced boy

"Dog's Life"

"Dog's Life"



What would you say if i left this town tomorrow
I guess i would
But know i'd miss the train
I know i would

I'll take a dog's life
Just layin' in the sun
I'll take a dog's life
'cause i don't care for this one

Chasing trains and planes and rain
Where is my rain
Falling down upon a thirsty world
I never want to be the same

Another time i might have fit in alright
But not this time
I guess i'm just too soon
To change my tune

I'll take a dog's life
Just layin' in the sun
I'll take a dog's life
'cause i don't care for this one

Chasing trains and planes and rain
Where is my rain
Falling down upon a thirsty world
I never want to be the same

"Dust Of Ages"

"Dust Of Ages"




This is the day
That i give myself up cold

The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And so you shake your coat off
And get on your way

Bloodshot and trembling
A new day has begun

The dust of ages
Settles on your days
And you blow it all away
And get on your way

The dust of ages
Settles on your days
But i'm not fuckin' around anymore
I'm on my way
