Dog (REMASTERED)

I saw a dog in my window today
(I saw a dog in my window today)
I asked him if he needed a place to stay
(I a-a-asked him if he needed a place to stay)
He said man if it ain't no thing
I just need a few days to get back in my swing
I said come on in why you waiting in the rain
I couldn't shake this bad feeling you know
Seemed like nothing went like it's supposed to go
I should've known cause all my life
A bad feeling never turned out right
He woke me up in the middle of the night
(He woke me up in the middle of the night)
Said I just gotta go man this don't feel right
(He said I just gotta go man this don't feel right)
I said do what you think you need
It was nice to talk again
I'll be sad to see you leave
He climbed the roof and he jumped off the side
I couldn't shake this bad feeling you know
Seemed like nothing went like it's supposed to go
I should've known cause all my life
A bad feeling never turned out right
I saw a dog in my window today
(I saw a dog in my window today)
I couldn't save him cause I didn't know what to say
(I couldn't save him couldn't save him
couldn't save him cause I didn't know)
Still I doubt I could've made a change
You could see it in his face he was done with his day
Still his ears stood straight and his face betrayed no pain

Sinners
01:37

I threw a sinner in the way
Spewed tales and bogged him down with ought-nots
And invited him to stay
Through the guilt and shame
Listen to the people what they tell you is just not hot
And if you'd seen the way he's drinking
I'd say you'd put him out the same
And if I had ever seen him at Walmart
(Yeah I saw him I saw him I saw him at Walmart)
I'd kick him in the face
(And looked the other way)
Well I'm the lord of good deeds
(The lord above you says "hi")
I got the key you know
Lend your ear and I'll give you a free lead
What's real's what you can hold
(So turn your nose)
So turn your nose
I'm told
The front of the back room's very cold
The backs all blacktop
Take his mask off
Breath in deep into his soul
Feels good you know
Water's high
Breath's tight
All I see is carved up stones just broken bits of bitterness in snow

High Call
02:40
|
|||
Shade me, fake me out
Take it all in stride, then later send me down
Show the fall and prove it's all absurd
Then vamp till I lose my frown
Then drill it, drill it, drill it
Drill it deep till it cracks the ground
Taste the drainage out my eye
Take me, take me down
Down where there's just silence, until there's sound
Then further further further
Till I'm so deep underground
That it burns, it burns, it burns
My aural nerves and I'm finally found
Howled out a high call that'd raise the dead
Then crashed through the drywall, I lost my head
Uh oh
And I
Let out a sigh all my demons fed
They screeched out through my squall
It sucked my dread
I don't wanna die
Taste the drainage out my eye
Howled out a high call that'd raise the dead
Then crashed through the drywall, I lost my head
Uh oh
And I
Let out a sigh all my demons fed
(Let out a sigh I'm fed)
They screeched through the sky's squall
It sucked my dread

Field of Dreams
02:36
|
|||
I've been trying so hard
But it's come back at me
With a thousand arms
And it seems that being right here
Would be worse than being wrong
And I'm done
But right now I just can't see
Well here we are it seems
Standing at the field of dreams
Where it's lonely and it's holy and it's sweet
Hey
Lock the exits
Bar the doors and follow course
You'll see my face in the faded church house floor
Imagine being right here
For at least a year it seems
All right there for you and I to see
Well he was breathing cold affections
Paper love on TV screens
Well here we are it seems
Standing at the field of dreams
Where it's lonely and it's holy and it's sweet
Why's it gotta be so goddamn sweet
Ah hey
Lock the exits
Bar the doors and follow course
You'll see my face in the faded church house floor

Regal Sum
02:38
|
|||
Well I was plotting inside a slump
And I'd picked out a plot for my grave
Low
Now it's all grey
High time for change
Well I wake up in the morning, ain't the man I was
Got some mental fuzz buzzed shaved clean off my face
But what's this here in its place
Well if I fall would you hear the thump
Even though
It wasn't part of the plot I'd paved
But still if my body went thump in the middle of the night
And it's right before the time for fun and games
Well would that be okay
Alright
Just fine
Be alright
You know it'd be just fine
'Cause if I'd wanted to I'd have that in my life
Ah, wouldn't I?
Don't think I'd like to see the regal sum
I'm taking pictures
In case it's today
Documenting every inch of
My bow to old age
(My bow to elderly age)
I'm operating lately
As if I could make a change
Make a change
Well lately, lately
Soon and lately is all there seems to be
'Cause I'm still counting on that regal sum
And it keeps me sane
But you know it's lonely inside that cave
Because that distant light it steals me from today

Shock
03:59
|
|||
Well I was out on the prowl
Riding round, casing out
Faculties out on the town
My notions wired, running wild
And I shocked myself
Right into a state
Well I remember that first time
Looking in as I drove by
It flipped a switch in my mind
But don't you worry I reached in there
And I flipped it right back just in time
Yeah sure I could drive a few miles
Ditch some chummy risk and see some new styles
Oh yeah but then I'm missing out
On that feeling, oh I just don't know no other route
Oh because it shocks myself
Right into a state
Oh it shocks myself
It shocks my self and it bends my mind
But it doesn't break
Yeah you know it
Shoots me up
Bolt of love
Fills my cup
Dumps it out
Shocks my self
Shocks my self
Shocks my self
Shocks it to a state
I could sit alone
Or I could live along the line
What's a crucifix, the letter "t"
Seems that one takes your pity while the others free
I know
Get it?
'Cause I don't wanna die
Let's try
What's the use of it, the sweater stinks
I got no one to pity or to tickle pink
I could leave home without it
Just my hairy chest
But I'd lose all the baubles in my sickened jest
And to tell the truth about it, then I couldn't sleep
Couldn't lie down and shout it to the bitter brink
I shrink, I shake, I spill, I break and
My sugar I don't wanna die
You could step right into me
An open mind
Well it shot love through me
Like an arrow in my eye
Two-faced
Split me dry
Yeah
It shocked myself
Shocked myself and it bent my mind
