Lyrics

DOG FOR A DAY

I'm rushing off into the morning
eyes hanging down
waiting for the coffee to slap me around
I hear a thumping on the sidewalk
and look up to see a dog face smile
I'm off to work as he naps for a while

and then I'm planning a career or
I'm planning for play
planning for a mortgage on some distant day
you know I'm planning for a kid and for dinner
planning to plan no more
when I hear paws scratching at the door

chorus
if I could shed my skin
alter the shape I'm in
fill out with fur and grow a long tail
if I could be that way
I would be a happy man
a dog for a day

I'd scare a squirrel to a treetop
and mangle your shoes
chase a stick into the water or simply refuse
I'd bark my head off if I wanted
whenever I heard the siren call
or I would sleep, contented, through it all

chorus

so I am stuck inside my body
and with my two feet
but there are human consolations here
in the front seat
no, I never have a collar or dog chow
and I'm allowed on the bed
but I wonder what my life would be instead

chorus
