Lost Dogs

In the tenement I was high

What was the summer came and passed me by

Through the window I hear someone's baby cry

Songs of hope for another lullaby

I got up and I stumbled oh I crawled

Up the staircase with a hat tucked underarm

Met with such heavy veils of the blue

Smoke from everything and everything abused

Where you go

When your loves gone

Out of touch

When our minds gone

To the places of the lost dogs.

In the morning we’ll get up and wash our eyes

Sign our name and call the state divine

Pull the curtain on the avenue below

Where I know you were somewhere in control

I fucked up yet another misery

I can’t seem to stay blue independently

When I got all this shit to hold me out

String my trip for another pass around

I woke up with a light across my face

Borrowed clothes and a weight around my waist

Memory serves me up another double take

Another love another heart I’ll surely break

I’ll get out of this city for a while

Claim my inheritance from the ghosts of a previous life

Hang my head under the sodium light as I

Crawl out from underneath these plans of mine

Where you go

When your loves gone

Out of touch

When our minds gone

To the place of the lost dogs.
