The Year of the Dog
The kids are nervousYou're turning blueWhat the hell is Mr Howard going to doIn a rush of blood at 10 in the morning?Come on slowlyIt takes a few yearsWhat the hell, the bourbons and the beersCome creeping up on you without any warningHey Mamma? What's wrong with that?Why does he look so sad?But she doesn't care anymoreHe's sleeping it off on the floorDr Jekyll and the poison crewThey really got a thing about youYou're always good for a laughWhen you are on your way downBut who's counting?You don't have a clueIt's been a hard day and you do what you doEverybody is surprised when your head hits the groundThe UDL's and the chardonnaySongtexteThey really take the end off the dayYou're facing your fears againDrowning in your tears againIt's only a means to an endKilling the year of the dogSo where will you run to now?But nobody showed you howTo find love in a dangerous worldLa la la la la la la la laDisappointmentGet over it nowIt isn't easy but I'll show you howTo bore the hell out of everyone in the roomPeople careBut they run out of steamJust keep repeating the same broken dreamSooner or later they are going to run when they see youI saw you comingA mile awaySorry to break it this wayThey can smell it on youOld Jack is a poisonous brewEscaping the pores of your skinGod knows you can't keep it inNa na na na na na na na naI know it's hardBut you die on your ownJust take it easyYou're almost homeTo the only ones that can help youIn the year of the dog Aus Songtexte Mania
