Альбом Dr. Dog

we've got old news
wrapped up in old blues
we can't afford to call
no we don't know where we are

come on, we're dead on our feet but we're walking
well let me hear you now
we've been stripped down
hog-tied and found out
and thrown into the quiet
like sticks into a fire

come on, i'm sleeping in the street cause it's so easy to dream but so hard to say goodnight
we've been toiling our tears hit the soil yeah
taking up a voice from a flower field of noise

come on, a dog from the past started barking
well let me hear you now
we've been stripped down
hog-tied and found out
thrown into the quiet
like sticks into a fire

come on, i'm sleeping in the street cause it's so easy to dream
but so hard to say goodnight

Some things never change
Or go away
I wait around
And now it’s yesterday
Like some little kid
Who’s overgrown
The lonely one
Who’s never been alone

But I don’t want to ever go back
To my old ways
Cheatin’ and creepin’ around
I don’t ever want to go back
To the old days
Leaving the dead underground
But I don’t ever want to go
No, I don’t ever want to go back
To my old ways again

Always waiting for
The rain to stop
And praying for
The other shoe to drop
Let your worries go
We’re all in love
A tidal wave
That comes from up above

But I don’t want to ever go back
To my old ways
Cheatin’ and creepin’ around
I don’t ever want to go back
To the old days
Leaving the dead underground
I don’t ever want to go
No, I don’t ever want to go back
To my old ways again
I don’t want to go back
To my old ways again

Even rich men ask for more,
Well I ain't poor
But I'm a beggar for your love
And enough it ain't enough
You can call me crazy
You can call me anything you like

Even gluttons got to eat,
Well I ain't weak
But I hunger for your love
And enough it ain't enough

Well I'd pawn my heart if I thought you'd break it
Sell my soul if I thought you'd take it
But every smile and conversation lets me know that you're only in it for love

I intend to keep a friend in love
Please remember, I don't pretend in love

Even kings they ask for more,
Well I ain't sure
But I'm a pauper for your love
And enough it ain't enough
You can call me crazy
You can call me anything you like

Even rivers ask for rain,
Well I ain't sand
But I'm a desert for your love
And enough it ain't enough

Well I'd pawn my heart if I thought you'd break it
Sell my soul if I thought you'd take it
But every smile and conversation lets me know that you're only in it for love

I intend to keep a friend in love
Please remember, I don't pretend in love

I intend to keep a friend in love
Please remember, I don't pretend in love

He's sleeping in his shoes
And dreaming of the worst
Living dirty lies
Believing in reverse
He'd break into the church
To burglarize the father
Gettin older by the second
If seconds even bother

Oh but the girl

She comes around
he was lost where she found him
The girl

Though she might get to him
He might never get to
The girl

He hide behind the look
That's written in the eye
He's lower than the rain
Cause it's falling from the sky
Like a man without a mother
A choice without a chance
He's digging up the dead
Expecting them to dance

Oh but the girl

She comes around
he was lost where she found him
The girl

Though she might get to him
He might never get to
The girl

He's not out of his head but he's much better off than before
He's not out of his head but he's much better off than before
He's not ready for bed but he's sleeping it off on the floor

Well how're the mountains off the harbor?
And how far are you from shore?
And when your ship--
Oh when your ship comes into port
Would you call?
Oh would you call?

In that cabin in Montana
Was that donkey getting drunk?
Well it's been hell back here in Philadelphia, yeah
And York ain't what it was

Now you know grandpa's washing dishes
He does it when he can
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand

The dog is barking out back
He thinks he's in the band
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand

You know I dreamt where
We're at the station
And you asked me if you could go
You know I never really had the chance
To say no

Well it's night time in Alaska
I hear it's dark until the spring
Well it's been hell back here in Philadelphia, yeah
And York ain't what it was

Now you know grandpa's washing dishes
He does it when he can
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand

The dog is barking out back
He thinks he's in the band
Trying to get this fire started
And I could really use a hand

Well I dreamt where
We're at the station
And you asked me if you could go
You know I never really had the chance
Oh no
To say

The weekend is coming soon
Well it's time to pick yourself up off the floor
Well let's grab a case of lager
and some old beat up shoes
Head down to the river
I'll strap on a canoe
We've got every kind of good girl comin' down
You just grab your banjo man
Try to sell some out
We'll play the songs we always, always sing
I can take and tell a line
You can take the lead
We'll all have, a weekend awesome

Weekends coming soon
Well let's start watching TV
And washing dishes too
We've got all the time the weekdays, and all day
So lets spend it all and celebrate
Just pretend we all got paid
We'll all have, a weekend awesome

Well I know just what to do
Cuz I've been here before
Cuz I know what I have
Well I've been here before
Yes I've been here before
Well I've been here before
Well I've been here...

Ain't it strange
How everybody says I love you
Ain't it a shame
How a word can tell you more than words can say
I need you here

Ain't it strange
'Cause I'm always thinking of you
Ain't it a shame
How a thought can catch the breeze and blow away
I need you here

Oh but I know how bad it can get
But I don't mind
Baby I don't mind
But I know how soon you'll forget me
But time keeps blaring
Baby time takes care of me

Ain't it strange
How a man who lives for nothing can change
'Cause if he stays the same he'll die a million days
Year by year
There's a drain

At the bottom of the ocean
And when it rains
We'll get close to where the water meets the sky
For you and I

Oh but I don't know how far this could go
But I don't mind
Baby I don't mind
There's no use in saying
That you've been straying
But even strangers know how strange it can be

We're only getting old
'Cause that's what we are told to do
But they sang to get through
But what's that got to do with us
So go on and work it out

Well it’s hard enough to get there
On your own
And it’s always time to pay rent
When you’re home

Is this the worst trip
You have ever been on?

Well you’re looking for the light switch
Click it on
[That’s what I do]
Now you’re staring at the T.V.
And telephone

Is this the worst trip
You have ever been on?
Well I…like it
It’s awfully dark and quiet here
Some may leave and some are going anywhere

Well you’re driving to the workplace
Come over and stump
You know the radio’s the worst thing
Early in the morning

Is this the worst trip
You have ever been on?
Well I…like it
It’s awfully dark and quiet here
Some may leave and some are going anywhere

Someone, sometime
Someone, sometime
Someone, sometime

Lying on your back
In the night so black
Dreaming of sweet love
Just beneath above

There's a light on in the house
See the bug see the mouse
Hear em fight, hear em shout
Hit the lights and go out

It's just that time of the year
that brings them here

Yesterday the day got colder
Passed away got one day older
Now it seems that everything is new

Then today a rock rolled over
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to way the way the lazy do

In the dirt of the flood
There's a stick in the mud
But in the heat of the sun
It is cool to be one

It's just that time of the year
So stick right here

Yesterday the day got colder
Passed away got one day older
Now it seems that everything is new

Then today a rock rolled over
Came to life to kill the clover
Left to lay the way the lazy do

May your thoughts be kind
May your knots unwind
May your dogs drink wine
May your days kill time

And may your fears go blind
As your regret rewinds
A little peace of mind
May you wake to find

It's just that time of the year
That holds you dear

It turns out cigarettes can kill you
cause when you didn't come back
every time that I thought of you
I smoked a whole pack

I was up to about seventeen packs a day
I was refueling too
about every hour or so
I drank a bottle of white mule

I wasn't thinking about turquoise
I wasn't thinking about gold
I wasn't thinking about thinking
or about getting old

got to be so I didn't care
if I was leaving or loving
oh, what I was
and what I was becoming

I don't want to in your arms
I just want to die
don't want to die in you arms
I just want to die

and like a marionette doll
oh, manned by a fool
I went into the chicken shed
started looking for tools

well I worked for a month
build some sky and some clouds
and I built some myself some angels
with trumpets so loud

well they played hallelujah
and I knew I was done
I walked through a golden gate with pearl inlays
saw a never setting sun

well I knew I was dead
I couldn't do no more harm
well I built myself a heaven
where you died in my arms

well you died in my arms when I died
well you died in my arms when I died
well you died in my arms when I died
you died in my arms when I died

Sitting here
I am very far away
Looking back, on yesterday
And it won't be long before
We all belong
Cause all the time that's left to kill
Is drawing out its' final will

Lady luck
She is always by my side
She woke me up
When I died
Taking me higher and higher
Just above the line of fire
Cause time and time and time again I'm shown
That I have never been alone at all

We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong

My old man
He is always on the run
He is the moon
And I'm the sun
We don't belong to the earth
We both belong to the sky
Mother me told me don't you cry
Stay at home or learn to fly
Oh my

We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong
We all belong

I don't want to fight.
I don't see no point, we will never get it right.
So, what do you think in the middle of the night,
When you're all alone?

Will you pick another town,
And pick up and leave once you've burned your bridges down
Until the point when you're sleeping on the ground
And the whole world is out of your reach?

Well you learn how to talk.
Like a baby, you learn to walk the walk,
But in the end it's just you in the dark
Did you learn who you are?

Well something broke that I can't seem to mend.
'Cause somethings break before they bend
I hope there is love at the end of your day to take you away.

When you tell a lie,
Can you look in the mirror and see it in your eye?
Who to do you fool with the things that you hide?
Is it for your sake or mine?

Well I can't wear your shoes
Nah they just wouldn't fit I've got too much to lose
By walking so fast when you can't pick and choose.
the people you walk on

Well I know an old band
And I know your face like the back of my hand
And I hope that maybe you will understand
That I don't know who you are anymore
Anymore

Well something broke that I can't seem to mend.
Cause somethings break before they bend.
I hope there is love at the end of your day to take you away
I hope there is love at the end of your day to take you away
I hope there is love at the end of your day to take you away
I hope there is love at the end of your day to take you away
I hope there is love at the end of your day to take you away
I hope there is love at the end of your day to take you away

Hey, save upon the undertaker bill
Throw me in the ocean where the water turns still
My blood will rust and dust to dust

Hey, save upon the undertaker bill
Throw me in the backyard, out behind the still
Just sort me out, or let me rot
If I was a goner before I came into the room
I was a goner before I came into the room

Simple things that I -------
So I'll bend right down and Ill tie my shoe
I was born a boy but became a man
And gettin' older is what I had to do
Oh and learn the things I already knew

Hey save upon the undertaker bill
Throw me to the wolves, let em have their fill
My bones will bust, don't make no fuss
If I was a goner before I came into the room
I was a goner before I came into the room

Simple things that I -------
So I'll bend right down and I'll tie my shoe
I was born a boy but became a man
And gettin' older is what I had to do
Oh and learn the things I already knew
