I got a dog and he ain't real smart
But he wiggles when he wags his tail, he's a real sweetheart
That stupid dog tried to hump me, when I was down on the floor
Life is full, of metaphors - you know the point there is
When you're dealin with "stupid", do not get down on their level
Big dog fell in love, with a cute little mutt
Every time she walks by she does this cute little strut
But if he gets too close, she gives him what for
Life is full, of metaphors - you know what they say
If it looks too good to be true, it probably is
Well if you got you're eyes open I'm sure that you will see
That the truth is all revealed so cleverly
I've got a glass menagerie, but it just came crashin down to the floor!
Life is full, of metaphors
I went out, to try and meet some girls
Down at the honky tonk, I thought I give it a whirl
All them 8's and 9's, was out there struttin on the floor
I went over to the bar and I met a 4
Truth is, she looked just as good as them other girls
Just not all painted up
I could see how I could be her man
But she had a ring there on her left hand
She said "look for a window hoss, when ya see a closed door"
She said "Life is full, of metaphors"
I confess, I was little bit tempted, but you gotta draw a line somewhere
I made it clear, that it was just no deal
Cuz I don't plow, in another man's field
She said "that's good hoss - cuz this ring's here is fake"
I just wear it down here to sort out the spiders and snakes!
Yeah, she said that was a good answer!
Put me right to the front of the line
Well if you got you're eyes open I'm sure that you will see
That the truth is all revealed so cleverly
There's a streetcar named desire I think it just pulled up to my front door
Life is full, of metaphors
Yeah Life is full, of metaphors
