A Dog's Life Songtext

von Miracle of Sound

Cheap smoke
Rising like a spirit in the
Soft glow of a New York street
No glamour or garb can hide
The animal heart inside of me

Lost faith
Martyrs with an axe to grind
Old hatreds tired & tamed
Chasing the faintest trail
Solemn companion pale
Protects me from my name

Cold reflections they tell no lies
But eyes just scratch the surface...

Don't shake me
Don't make me bear my teeth
You really don't wanna meet that guy
Don't wake me
Don't let it off the leash
There's a monster livin' under this hide

Well it's a dog's life
Holdin' onto beauty while the
Bleak nights are makin' beasts of men
The fairytale days are dead
So try not to lose your head
When the scent is calling again

Cold reflections they tell no lies
But eyes just scratch the surface...

Don't shake me
Don't make me bear my teeth
You really don't wanna meet that guy
Don't wake me
Don't let it off the leash
There's a monster livin' under this hide

Who's evading the skin-clad wof?
I hope the spoils were worth it...
Who's evading the skin-clad wolf?
The eyes just scratch the surface...

Don't shake me
Don't make me bear my teeth
You really don't wanna meet that guy
Don't wake me
Don't let it off the leash
There's a monster livin' under this hide

It's a dog's life
