dog in the burning building |
|
slowly flames are forming 'round his head |
|
faulty wiring and bribes have led to an infernal blaze |
|
but he was told to stay and guard the door and more |
|
loyalty's his fate |
|
stains on the mattress and the sheets |
|
make a perfect outline of her shape |
|
she, a thin half japanese |
|
with a hokusai scene done in blue ink |
|
she smiled and then she winked and said |
|
they should be friends |
|
"i think it is our fate" |
|
with his ear pressedt o the wall |
|
she picked the lock and they were gone |
|
dashing mad down the hallway stairs |
|
past skeletons and spooks |
|
all chattering in tune |
|
what a racket, no time to spare |
|
such a pair of lost sojourners, |
|
they marched on two by two |
|
oh lord, we got cobwebs in our soul, |
|
love in our hearts, and the devil in our bones |
|
dog in the burning building |
|
oh the flames keep growing |
|
no way out |
|
tiny time bomb in his chest, |
|
it keeps on ticking there's no rest |
|
he's just a broken thread in a greater design |
|
loyalty's his fate |
|
with a sweet corporal glow |
|
and some headshrinkers in tow |
|
making time with the concierge |
|
he said "we should combine weapons" |
|
just fall in two by two |
