Dirty Sheep

(album: Laura Veirs - 1999)

The sky's a dirty sheep
And someone's got to shear it
This life is a messy table
And someone's got to clear it

There's a heavy, heavy hand
Weighing down the black sheep clouds
Everything is like lead
I wanna see the sun

Bust out your log
And bust your dog

Politics on the sidewalk
Scalding color sidewalk chalk
Beneath your sweet 16 candy bar
He took you away in his car
Talk was cheap
So you make 50 bucks for doing much more than talking
What the fuck

Bust out your log
And bust your dog

There's a heavy, heavy hand
Weighing down the black sheep clouds
And everything is like lead
I wanna see the sun

Bust out your log
And bust your log
