Wild Sweet Orange - Ten Dead Dogs lyrics

rate me

I saw ten dead dogs on the side of the road

driving late last night to your apartment

and I thought it was an omen

so I headed on back home and

walked in circles 'round my room

alone.

O my God, is this really what you want?

Would you tell us if it's not?

And could you rewrite the plot

and come and get us?

Yeah, come and get us.

Shivering cold, I woke up in water

and wrapped myself around the toilet seat.

I spoke in tongues and took all my clothes off.

The tops of my fingers

touched the tops of my toes

O my God, is this really what you want?

Would you tell us if it's not?

And could you rewrite the plot

and come and get us?

Cause we can't stop doing

what we think we want,

even though we know it's not.

This place is merely a subplot

to come and get us.

I've never felt this way before.

Am I running away from what

I've always been running towards.

Belief, believe in me, cause I don't know

if reason's ever gonna see why love

would come to die,

to leave.

O my God, is this really what you want?

Would you tell us if it's not?

And could you rewrite the plot

and come and get us?

Cause we can't stop doing

what we think we want,

even though we know it's not.

This place is merely a subplot

to come and get us.

I watched the sky turn from blue

to black to red and yellow too

before the purple dawn was filling up my room.

And for a brief moment,

I heard the whole earth groaning

like there was something

that it needed me to do
