Stray Dog Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] At night your grandmother died On a bed of chamomile And the Virgin Mary stuck her head out From the wall and it scared you [Chorus] And you cried by floral bedside Until the telephone rang in the next room [Verse 2] It was six-six-six from a soldier Who was hysterical on the toilet seat You could tell he was good looking Just by the way that he was speaking [Chorus] You both sob like little cherries Being crushed between my fingers [Verse 3] And I drop the pits on tile floors And they echo like a tongueless mouth Oh I tried to speak, I swear to god I wish I were your stray dog [Chorus] Eating scraps of meat you gave me Because you saw my ribs and I was dirty Eating scraps of meat you gave me Because you saw my ribs and I was dirty I wish I were your stray dog Roaming aimlessly around the city
