Out Of The Noise
(专辑: Roots To Branches - 1995)
Glued to the
kerbstone, staring. Frozen at the
stop-sign too. See that crazy suicide mongrel. He's going to try to cross that avenue. Old dog of experience, ripping through the
black and yellow cabs, dodging rickshaws and the
bicycle boys. He's got his mind on someone else's dinner Over the
road, round the
corner, out of the
noise. Lives down in some cool, cool basement Sharing with a
family of bouncy, ratty little guys Works to a
discipline of ritual undertakings Sleep, eat, and gentle exercise Old dog of experience, ripping through the
black and yellow cabs, dodging rickshaws and the
bicycle boys. He's got his mind on someone else's dinner Over the
road, round the
corner, out of the
noise. Some towns I
know, he could end up in a
restaurant wrong side of a
table for two. It's enough to send him running, running for cover. Back into traffic, what's a
poor dog to do? Old mutt of experience, ripping through the
black and yellow cabs, dodging rickshaws and the
bicycle boys. He's got his mind on someone else's dinner Over the
road, round the
corner, out of the
noise.
