lyrics

Killing the Dog

I’m staring into the eye of a puppy who’s missing an eye,
he’s laying on his side next to Winthrow’s grave.

Do you want to die little dog, or are you just laying there?

Keep nodding your head, dog,
I’ll keep Nodding mine too.

Over in the park a little boy is talking to a tulip
that he holds, but he’ll never give away.

And all the little river frogs sing along
to a song about a little colored boy

the band has just begun to play.

If you look over in the streets there’s a car parked,
all the lights are on, a door is open.

It’s been open since I couldn’t drive anymore today.

And now I’m staring into the eye of a puppy who’s missing an eye...
