Ten Dead Dogs
(Wild Sweet Orange)
I saw ten dead dogs on the side of the road
Driving late last night to your appartment
And I thought it was an omen
So I headed on back home and walked in circles around my room, alone
Chorus 1
Oh my God, is this really what you want?
Would you tell us that it’s not?
And could you rewrite the plot?
And come and get us?
Shivering cold, I woke up in water
And wrapped myself around the turbid seas
I spoke in times and took all my clothes off
The tops of my fingers touched the tops of my toes
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Cos we can’t stop doing what we think we want,
Even though we know it’s not
This place is nearly as a plot
And come and get us
I’ve never felt this way before
Am I running away from what I’ve always been running towards?
Believe, believe in me, ‘cos I don’t know if reason’s ever gonna see why love
When it comes to die, to leave
Chorus 1 & Chorus 2
I watch the sky turn from blue to black to red and yellow too
Before the purple dawn was filling up my room
And for every moment I heard the holy groaning
Like there was something that he needed me to do
