When Good Dogs Do Bad Things Lyrics

I'm the best you'll ever have

You're the best I'll never have



Pain...

Gone.

Rain...

Stop.

Sun...

Shine.

You're...

Mine.



Here kitty kitty kitty



MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY



Listen:

listen through the walls

the sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall

whispers

the pages turning

the leaky roof

the toilet flushing

numbers on the license plate



I'm nothing more than

The best you'll never have

A speck on your bedroom wall

A blood red waterfall



THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE



Your dead things are locked up inside

Blow smoke rings straight back in time

Roses floating out with the tide

Dance and sing under gunfire

Open wings slowly take flight...



Around these parts a fly can live---

A fly can live a thousand years

but a man cannot die soon enough, true enough



A smiling drunk nursing a glass of milk

A girl with a face like prison bread

Over the kitchen noise I hear them howl at me



A scabby ketchup bottle and a two-dollar bill

I guess its time to pay the bill, but you know I never will

I'm hungry still...



RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY



Mercy killing on the way

Never thought I'd hear you say

Falling to your knees and pray now...



In this crowded place I could swing a cat

And not even hit a soul...

It's just the lonely vacuum of human black holes



And I'm as dry as these thirsty trees

with big city thoughts in the dirty breeze...

promising to set me free

"waiter, check please..."



I'M THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE
