Stan Ridgway - Dogs lyrics

rate me

One dog buries a bone and then the

Other dog digs it up and finds

A prize in store

One dog dies and the other dogs go

Dig him up a tomb, with his

Name inscribed

Chorus:

And there, on his tombstone

Carved so bold

The words are clear and strong

It says:

This one is for the eyes

For the eyes of the other dogs to come

It's for the eyes of the other dogs to come

One man digs a hole while the

Other one shovels dirt inside

Another hole

One man says "hello" while

Another man is leaving on a

Long journey––to a place he'll not return

Chorus repeat

Every entrance has an exit

Every doorknob has a twist

I wonder what my face looked like

Before it looked like this?

Chorus repeat
