Barking Dog

It is not your fault

You wield a dullish sort of knife

You are made up of atoms from

Someone who like a wishbone

Has left you in the sun to dry

And don't you know

You can't stop the tears from coming

Baby, you were always meant to drain

And no amount of loving

Can stop the dog from barking

When she's in pain

Yellow lawns are quilted in the streets

Where I fell smack

Dab into you

Now we're bound by blood and gore

Blades of grass indent my elbows

You can numb the sting but nothing more

'Cause now I know

You can't stop the tears from coming

Baby, you were always meant to drain

And no amount loving

Can stop the dog from barking

When she's in pain

Smack dab into you

Smack dab into you

Dab into you

Smack dab into you

Smack dab into you

Dab into you

'Cause now I know

I can't stop the tears from coming

Baby, I was always meant to drain

And no amount of loving (Smack dab into you)

Can stop this dog from barking (Smack dab into you)

'Cause she's in pain (Dab into you)

(Smack dab into you) I am the sum of parts

(Smack dab into you) Kick back and watch me spark

(Dab into you) Take all the things I lack

And brace for impact 'cause

The centre will not hold

Darkness reaps what darkness sows (Dab into you)

(Dab into you)
