Mike Doughty - Year of the dog

^ATime tells butterfat lies Sweet lousy cupcakes of lies ^{E A}I'll comply and I shall play along I was born in the y^Eear of the dog^A And the b^Dlue black tattoo, it crawled up my arm Scribbled vines crawling my arm ^A And a ro^Doster rose up and it cried an alarm Sounded alarming alarms ^A And l^Eaid on the lawn and the dawns Of the morning got warm ^{D A}Queer fear in severe clear Scrunch your fat face like a doll ^{E A}I got made in a candy floss smog I was born in the ^Eyear of the d^Aog And I d^Drove in my car where the hills stand to shore Over and down to the shore ^A Then I t^Dhrew out my dreams, so I'd dream them no more Drown them and dream them no mo^Are Then I s^Eat and I stared at the waves From my primer gray F^Dord

And I'm ^Dlistless and lost and I cry all the time Lost and I cry all the t^Aime And I ^Dfelt just the same, though I chuffed up a line High but I felt just the same ^A

And the st^Eeam from my cup, a girl loved And it spelled out her name ^D
