A Shy Dog

(album: New Wave Hot Dogs - 1987)

Sitting at home inside yourself
Thinking it's cool to be so reserved
And it's kinda funny
Lying in bed that night, wasting time, wasting time
and I know how that is, want to know how that is
How do these days go by, why does time move so slow
When are my decisions made
Make a new plan that you're gonna be strong
Eat a bit of lunch and the moment's gone,
But not quite forgotten.
When you alone at night, reflecting time, reflecting time.
And I know where that leads, want to know where that leads.
How do these days go by, why does time move so slow
When are my decisions made
When that day comes, you're sure you're gonna know
You're like some shy dog looking for the nerve,
looking for the nerve to bite.
Start to react, too smart to miss
You're coming just til you resent
It's turning into a problem
Lying awake at night, just wasting time, wasting time
And I know where that leads, do you want to know where that leads.
How do these days go by, why does time move so slow
How do these days go by, why does time move so slow
When are my decisions made, I'll never know, I'll wonder.
