Paroles de Two Dogs

I had two dogs
In the summer of 2004
One was boot black
The other whiter than a health food store

Medicine hogged
The floor space on the back porch
Donations my monarchs
Saved up to take up to the poor

Oh the backyard sang
A chorus of barks from Yin & Yang
They played angel and demon
But oh, I loved them just the same
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Strange how what heals can also kill
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I found two dogs
On the hot concrete of the back porch
One in amniotic vomit
The other in fetal contort

Medicine clogged
Their stomachs 'til they overpoured I learned in death
We all are unified in countenance

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Eyes bulging like they'd finally seen the truth

The type of shit a child forgets
But the memory resets
When you ask me in a worried fret
Have you ever at least loved a pet?
