"OKAY."
|
|
THE TOWN'S DAWNING, I'M THE ONLY ONE AWAKE.
|
THE STREETS ARE WHISTLING, I LIGHT MY FOURTH CIGARETTE.
|
I THINK OF MY FRIENDS, THEY WERE ONCE NOT SO DEAD.
|
WHAT ARE THEY THINKING NOW?
|
|
ONE DAY I'LL BE JUST A LITTLE STONE,
|
NOBODY'LL KNOW THAT THE STONE HAD SUCH EMOTIONS.
|
ANYWAY, I'M ALWAYS ON THE RUN.
|
SOMEDAY I'LL BE REMEMBERED FOR THE PHONE CALLS I NEVER MADE,
|
LETTERS I NEVER MAILED,
|
AND STORIES I NEVER FINISHED TELLING ANYONE.
|
|
THE TOWN'S YAWNING, I LET MY DOG WALK ME AROUND.
|
HE TOOK A SHOOT AND PEOPLE SMILED,
|
I TRIED THE SAME AND PEOPLE FROWNED.
|
YES, IT'S A DOG, DOGTOWN.
|
|
ONE DAY LET'S BE A PAIR OF TREES,
|
NOBODY'LL KNOW THAT THE TREES HAD SUCH A HISTORY.
|
ANYWAY, WE'D NEVER BE THIS LONELY.
|
SOMEDAY I'LL BE REMEMBERED FOR THE FINE WORDS I MEANT TO KEEP,
|
A WARM SMILE I MEANT TO LEAVE,
|
AND A TRUE SONG I MEANT TO FINISH WRITING ALL MY LIFE.
|
|
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN,
|
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN.
|
DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOGTOWN.
|
|
PEAS PORRIDGE LUCK, PEAS PORRIDGE STUCK,
|
PEAS PORRIDGE IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
|
SOME GETS PAID, SOME GETS GRADES,
|
SOME STAYS IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
|
|
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN,
|
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN.
|
DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOGTOWN.
|
|
PEAS PORRIDGE LOVED, PEAS PORRIDGE SPOILED,
|
PEAS PORRIDGE IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
|
SOME GETS LAID, SOME GETS SLAYED,
|
SOME STAYS IN THE POT NINE YEARS OLD.
|
|
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN,
|
YES, IT'S A DOGTOWN, IT'S A DOGTOWN.
|
DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOG, DOGTOWN.
|
|
DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN,
|
DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN, DOGTOWN -.
