Ben Folds Five Dog Lyrics

Dog Lyrics

Well my dog wears a path on the same line

And lately I'm thinkin' I might take his advice

Yeah yeah



Cuz he sees through the fence and he thinks I'm free

But my brain and his chain look the same to me



All alone in a cage with a headrest

There's a thing I could get offa my chest

Cause I

Want to wear the path that's true

And I

Want to wear the path with you



Out on the cold off the leash four years or more

I don't even know what it was I was waiting for



Well maybe I barked up the wrong tree

That was then, now i'm back

Won't you see me?



Cause I

Want to wear the path that's true

And I

Want to wear the path with you



Oh it's true



I used to be afraid of growing old

And hanging around the same old place

But I got older anyway

So won't you

So won't you

So won't you brush my fears away



My dog wears a path and that's a good sign

Do-do-do-do-do-dodo-dodo

Cause my dog wears a path on the same line (same line)

All alone in this cage with a headrest

There's a thing I should get off my off chest

(I could get off of my chest)

Buy a house, go to work in the same car

Feed the dog, put our teeth in the same jar



Want to tell you that I

Want to wear the path that's true

And I

Want to wear the path with you

And I

Want to wear the path that's true



Ah-oohh



(you there?)

(yeah)

(what'cha doing?)

(you didn't even say hello)

(hello)

(haha, that's not a normal way to answer your phone)

(well there's a lot of ways to answer the phone)

(you could say goos..)

(you just picked it up and didn't say anything, "are you there?"

(i'm sorry)

(what are you doing?)

(making a record)

(you're a qumkwat)

(::laughter:: ooohh-we're doing a vocal track, uh, you're, you're, you're
all-all over it now)

(oh great)
