I Was on That Roof Once

The Lord, my German Shepherd

(Time for walkies)

Over the hill you died on

(Keep a short leash)

And as your cup runs over

(I'll keep pouring)

Testing the will of the fish

(You've been hoarding)

Sourpuss I'm the dog in the manger I'll prapañca

(Word has spread it's a useless thing)

If you keep spewing aphorisms rolled in glitter balderdash

And each to their own but you're sprouting different feathers than that fountainhead

(Gripping breath as the air recedes)

Sourpuss I'm the dog in the manger and I'm rabid like the sea

(A bike lane for the road to hell)

I am foaming from the algae that's inhabited my gob

Need a smack, need stern redirection to my own fountainhead

(Nothing short of an ordeal)

Can't find a foothold in you

(Hence the falling)

I'm undeterred your height's my

(Higher calling)

And when I reach it paint you

(Rather forcefully)

With all of my true colours

(They're appalling)

Sourpuss I'm the dog in the manger I'll prapañca

(Word has spread it's a useless thing)

If you keep spewing aphorisms rolled in glitter balderdash

And each to their own but you're sprouting different feathers than that fountainhead

(Gripping breath as the air recedes)

Sourpuss I'm the dog in the manger and I'm rabid like the sea

(A bike lane for the road to hell)

I am foaming from the algae that's inhabited my gob

Need a smack, need stern redirection to my own fountainhead

(Nothing short of an ordeal)
