FISHBREATH
Trudging on the trail
raise on up the sail
Would I tell on you if it weren't true?
Think I think I think we were both asleep
Well, I woke up first you're still covered in dirt
Driving on a dare not real sure just where
Through the open door I saw our team score
The world won't fly on by with an open eye
Are you on your way?
Please be on your way
I do need a ride.
Playing by the rules.
Always stuck in school
Are you on your way?
Please be on your way
I do need a ride

DOG SONG
I've been walking on some strong pavement
wouldn't want to make it weak
It's a slow ride on the this side of the street
I've been hanging on with all your strength
Nothing knocks me like my own way
It's a slow ride on this side of the street
It's only natural to run away
It takes all of me to stay in place
but it's a smooth ride when nothing goes my way

ROMEO
We pushed it our way,
licked our paws,
stepped on the walk of guardians claws
We drank 'til we're full,
soaked our souls,
rotted the food prepared in our bowls.
(doo-doo)
We softened the glow,
listened no more,
drifted from home.
We shined our masks for acception calls
kept up the walls
Romeo

ROLLED OVER
Here she comes again
Here I go again
rolled over with my belly and my paws in the air
So I will shake it off
Shiver like a wet dog
And lean against a different wall
it's me who chooses to fall
rolled over with my belly and my paws in the air

THE DEVIL AND ME
come play a tune
I'll play with you
come play a tune
(doo doo)
come play a tune
I'll play with you
just us, just two
(doo doo)
the games not fair
I quit
I dare you to break the rules
the games not fair
I quit

ALLITERATION
slipping like a slithering snake off the side of serenade street
coughing like a cold cat in a crowded crock of crap
swimming in a swanked-up sweater
dreaming with a swilling swallow
riding on a rhythmic rather
reading on writing rainbow
biting on a bitch-hard bother
breathing for a bright tomorrow

Gray, gray slow down day
yellow stray dog face
blue, blue it's all in place

ANTIGUARD
When I stare right through it I see I don't know how to do it,
and I won't let go of the dirt and the dreams of life,
and I don't care what it sounds like
When I suck it through it, it's thick and I can't swallow

Well, my throat won't open for the words and the screams of life,
and I don't care what it sounds like
When I'm choking on it I'm blue, I'm blue in the face.
Well, I must be dying for the air and the love of life,
and I don't care what it sounds like

GOODBYE AGAIN
you gone and left me
see what it's done
Yeah I got shoes on my feet
and my dog who will still love me
and I've got enough to eat
but none of this measures up to you
you gone and left me
see what it's done

TAKE OFF
Too good to be true
Too good to eat too
Forget your honey
and all your money
Cover your eyes
Say your goodbyes
bye bye bye bye bye bye
