Dead Dog Lyrics

Dead dog
Where did all your love go?
All your promises
and your dog awards?
Happy is a dog
who, before he dies,
lets his blood run cold
under the porch light
You gave me a vacant stare
A shiver in your high knees
Foam was runnin' out of your mouth
like engine steam
Your look went right through me
Like a deer caught in headlights
It must've been somethin' wild
I know you put up a good fight

Dead dog
Where did all your love go?
All your promises
and your dog awards?
Happy is a dog
who, before he dies,
lets his blood run cold
under the porch light
We held you down in the dirt
As you bit through your tongue
Your eyes gleamed red like poppies
When Dad picked up a gun
I whispered something in your ear
Something I'd never tell a soul
I know you'll keep it safe for me
Down on Desolation Row
Dead dog
Where did all your love go?
All your promises
and your dog awards?
Happy is a dog
who, before he dies,
lets his blood run cold
under the porch light
Happy is a dog
who, before he dies,
lets his blood run cold
under the porch light
