Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Give me a dollar or give me fifty cents
Let me take it back if that ain't what I meant
Give me a coat or give me a bite
Give me a lightbulb and make sure it's bright
Give me the moon or give me everywhere
Give me some powder to spray up in the air
Up in the air
[Verse 2]
Let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
Remembering the times I pray
To help me deal with me
To be the Dogman
[Verse 3]
Give me some attention, lend me your ear
Give me what to do and get me out of here
Hey
Give me a book, give me something to read
Give me a horse race and give me who's the lead
Ooh, ooh, hey, hey
[Verse 4]
Let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
Remembering the times I pray
To help me deal with me
To be the Dogman
[Verse 5]
To be the Dogman, hey
To be the Dogman, mmm
To be the Dogman, hey
To be the Dogman, Dogman
[Verse 6]
All the sleeping, never waking
All the leaves in need of raking
All the business undertaking
All my bones and muscles aching
Thoughts and mind are surely flaking
Over luncheons, hands are shaking
Surety of no mistaking
Cars and horns and glass is breaking
[Verse 7]
Oh, give me a color, make it black or white
Give me a newspaper, tell me if it's right
Tell me, won't you? Oh
Oh, give me a nail, or give me a bat
Give me a skinny or give me a fat
Give me, give me
[Verse 8]
Remembering the times I pray
To let me take my thoughts away
To think about another day
To help me deal with me
To help me deal with me
To be the Dogman
To be the Dogman
Dogman
To be the Dogman
To be the Dogman
Oh!
