All The Dogs Are Lying Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw prayers being made with Plastic rosaries Carpets laid No thought for furniture [Chorus] All the dogs are lying down All the dogs are lying All the dogs are lying down All the dogs are lying [Verse 2] As I crept 'way with cracking bones The steeple rose the way unknown The steeple jarred, I set me down I listen to the furnished ground [Verse 3] She said soft things, said, "One who lay" I turn to see the one turned gray An ash burnt brim with naught he wept But to the ground, my ear had bent [Verse 4] Said softer things, and as hath I The while, my horse had run a mile And lying in the black, I wept For ne'er a lad so wayward crept [Bridge] Listening hard, I felt too young The wayward saw with older tongues [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] Screws on screws on left down lip I'll burn my day, rue my night Lost in the battle and found in the fight Three bought flash tame Jump up sick flames One left and one gone Nine left and I'm gone I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone [Verse 1] I saw prayers being made with Plastic rosaries Carpets laid No thought for furniture [Chorus] All the dogs are lying down All the dogs are lying All the dogs are lying down All the dogs are lying
