I saw a puppy by the side of the road
and I want to take him home
so sick and dirty by the side of the road
yeah I want to take him home
I saw a puppy by the side of the road
and I want to take him home
so sick and dirty by the side of the road
oh I gotta take him home
it's a gamble, for sure
but he worms his way in and won't let go
and I can't keep him, I know
but I just couldn't keep on going
I didn't tell you for a lecture
I didn't ask you 'cause we're friends
I don't need your permission and I can't stand your conditions
just want you to know I would do it again
I saw a puppy by the side of the road
and I want to take him home
so sick and dirty by the side of the road
I gotta take him home
and I know he's a stray and I know he might bite
but he could be in need and he might die tonight
I saw a puppy by the side of the road
and I want him I want him I want him I want him
it's a gamble, I know
if he sinks his teeth and don't let go
and I can't have him, for sure
but I just couldn't keep on going
I didn't tell you for a lecture
I didn't ask you 'cause we're friends
I don't need your permission and I can't stand your conditions
I just want you to know I would do it again and again and again
I saw a lady by the side of the road
and I ought to help her home
lying in a pile by the side of the road
and I should've helped her home
well he hit her real hard with the back of his hard
we were going so fast I could not comprehend oh
I saw a lady by the side of the road
and she's dying dying dying you know
it's a gamble, for sure
he could come back to finish her
and I can't save her, I know
but I who am I if I keep going?
I didn't tell you for a lecture
I didn't ask you 'cause we're friends
I don't need your permission and I can't stand your conditions
I just want you to know I would do it again and again and again
...cause I saw a puppy by the side of the road

Animal/Tonight

I want silence
I want be in dark
without a chance of recovering it
I want to feel alone
no TVs no phones
no light except the stars
sleeping in the cars
out in the dust it is quiet
in the night I'm blinded
and it's me and the animals
and I am animal
no more words we are animals
I am an animal feeling so grateful tonight
cold
swallow me whole
break my heart
freeze my bones
it's my funeral
and it's my home
I am alone
I am exposed
out in the dust it is silent
in the dark I'm blinded
and it's me and the animals
and I am animal
no more words we are animals
I am an animal feeling so grateful tonight
yes I know it's coming soon
the time when I will face the beast
knife out bared teeth
circle my foe and tame him
or go down fighting
knife out bared teeth
yeah it's me and the animals
and I am animal
no more words we are animals
I am an animal feeling so grateful
it's me and the animals
I am animal
no more words cause we are animals
I am an animal feeling so grateful

Buffalo Fetish

gave you a fetish
to keep you from harm
now the hospital took it
and you are alone
wrote you a message
slipped it in your car
said I just want you to know
I'll miss you when you're gone
and you'll be gone soon
I swore to protect you
but eagle I am not
can't help how I found you
but better found than forgotten
built you a cottage
away from everyone
you'll feel much better
where the buffalo roam
the buffalo roam
and they're coming soon
you'll be gone soon
I gave you a fetish
to keep you from harm
but the hospital took it
and now you're all alone

you're all to me like salt to the sea
yeah you seem to me like you're a fire
you come to me like ideas in my dreams
you're not correct but at the time you seem to be
standing in the doorway I am ready to get burned again
but lying in your arms I feel so bored
the voices in my head are always loudest when they're telling me
get out while you still can for fuck's sake
you're cutting me off slowly at the knees
yeah we do what you want to we do what you want and it kills me
you swallow me like the wind swallows screams
I feel so forceful but I'm right there when you tell me
standing in the doorway I am ready to get bored again
but lying in your arms I feel so burnt
the voices in my head are always loudest when they're telling me
get out while you still can for fuck's sake
you're robbing like ghosts at wounded knee
all promises and then a back that's full of iron
you're words to me are like being in a dream
nothing is real and there's not consequence for killing
standing in the doorway I am ready to get burned again
but lying in your arms I feel so bored
you used to turn me on but now the voices in my head they say
get out while you still can for fuck's sake

Maddie this isn't who you are
sitting in the call center
killing the hours
Oh Maddie, you dream of where you'll go
the places you don't know
the distance and the power
because you're bright and so pretty
you could really make something of yourself
yeah you're bright and so pretty
you could really make something of yourself
Maddie this isn't who you are
sitting in the call center
doodling flowers
Oh Maddie, you could be so much better
you could be so much better
you write it to yourself every damn day in letters
you're bright and so pretty
you could really make something of yourself
yeah you're bright and so pretty
you could really make something of yourself
you're only 23
you got your whole damn life ahead of you
like I once had my life ahead of me
you're only 23
this is a blip for you
you could start over Maddie
Oh Maddie
