Year Of The Dog

(альбом: American Interior - 2014)

I was born in the Year of the Dog
I will comply and keep turning those cogs
I am faithful but I will bite
I will not cower in a fight

And I'll growl and I how how how howl
And I'll wake you in the morning with the first news into town
And I'll growl and I how how how howl
But you know that I will ease all your fears we can drown

And I was born in the Year of the Dog
I'll be turning those cogs
Through the snow and the fog
String me along
Your companion in song
Treat me wrong
And one day I'll be gone

I was conceived in '69
Year of the Rooster and liberated minds
You were raised with tigers teeth
Soothsayers eyes and rockets on your feet
And you ran and you never came back
And when you looked into the mirror you were ready to attack
And they rode and you walked to your grave
And when they woke you in the morning you were slumbering dead

I was born in the Year of the Dog
I'll be turning those cogs
Through the snow and the fog
String me along
Your companion in song
Treat me wrong
And one day I'll be gone
