A Dog's Life lyrics

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

Well it’s a dog’s life
