Year of the Dog Lyrics


Time tells butterfat lies
Sweet lousy cupcakes of lies
I'll comply and I shall play along
I was born in the year of the dogAnd the blue black tattoo, it crawled up my arm
Scribbled vines crawling my arm
[Incomprehensible] rose up and it cried an alarm
Sounded alarming alarmsAnd laid on the lawn and the dawns
Of the morning got warmQueer fear in severe clear
Scrunch your fat face like a doll
I got made in a candy floss smog
I was born in the year of the dogAnd I drove in my car where the hills stand to shore
Over and down to the shore
Then I threw out my dreams, so I'd dream them no more
Drown them and dream them no moreThen I sat and I stared at the waves
From my primer gray FordAnd I'm listless and lost and I cry all the time
Lost and I cry all the time
And I felt just the same, though I chuffed up a line
High but I felt just the sameAnd the steam from my cup, a girl loved

And it spelled out her name

The former frontman of Soul Coughing from 1992, Doughty began writing solo songs in 1995, but nothing materialized until Soul Coughing broke up in 2000. At this point Doughty began touring solo with his acoustic guitar (after becoming clean and sober).
