Dog
from I Love Birds by Coyote Wall
out in the summer heat taking me by the hand chasing me down the street bury me in the sand i never learned to follow any of your commands livin like a dog in new york city livin like a dog in boston town building a cage for the lovers building a roof for the rain learning to love one another learning to live with the pain wonder i made it this far working with half a brain livin like a dog in new york city livin like a dog in boston town blood on my face in the alley blood on my hands at the bar water that runs through the valley valley that runs like a scar building a big machine telling me what you are livin like a dog in new york city livin like a dog in boston town dancing until the nighttime dying before the dawn i wasn’t in my right mind you were completely gone i used to move the mountains now all i move is on livin like a dog in new york city livin like a dog in boston town johnny had eyes for mary mary had eyes for me i took what i could carry when i went out to sea saving myself the trouble better to leave it be livin like a dog in new york city livin like a dog in boston town
