Stray Dogs

Timid dog

Flashlights cutting through the fog

Shaking sick

This Mange is thick

Got no home

Got no place to call my own

Ooo yeah just a mongrel on the prowl

Pavement's cracked it whispers back

Every step like a heart attack

Eyes like moons they glow and fade

Underneath the bridge I made my trade

Stray in the smoke stray in the haze

Running through the city's maze

Every corner hides a ghost

But the shadows love me the most

I ain’t your pet ain’t your friend

Won’t be by your side at the end

Rain tastes like metal dreams

Neon rivers split at the seams

Trash can thrones a kingless reign

Hunger bites but it keeps me sane

I don't beg I don't plead

The night gives me what I need

Stray in the smoke stray in the haze

Running through the city's maze

Every corner hides a ghost

But the shadows love me the most

I ain’t your pet ain’t your friend

Won’t be by your side at the end

Skyscrapers hum their electric prayers

Broken bottles catch the starlight's glare

I hear a song in the siren's scream

It's all too real it's all a dream

Barking loud Barking back

I ain’t one of your pack

Barking loud barking back

Ready to attack

Cause I’m barking loud

And I’m barking back

Rrrrrr! Gnashing fangs

Stray dog gangs

Biting back with gnashing fangs
