Song
The Dog
Words by Byron Callisto. Music by Jupiter Sheep.
in sixty-five vickie lived in the trailer court
in a ten-foot chromium box
extensive inner world
imaginary girl
her older brother says that she rocks
well it felt like bad religion
daddy had some hard luck
the boys all want to play
she’s crazy anyway
he said: teach her how to make us a buck
and vickie talks to her dog
and he tells her someone someday
will give her freedom
todd had a trailer
hippie painting on the wall
he had long long hair and smoked the pot
it tugged at his soul
as he watched them come and go
he knew because he read a lot
well it felt like bad radiation
todd had seen her once or twice
she had long long hair
an unusual stare
her eyes were the color of ice
ice eyes
one day todd heard vickie screaming out loud
he came flying out the trailer door
grabbed a piece of pipe
and took a man’s life
the others wouldn’t stay for more
well it felt like predestination
as they got into the car and drove
when the brothers came around
they tried to track them down
but no one can fight true love
no one can fight true love
no one can fight true love
the children play with the dog
when he tells them: i will always love you
they can hear him
they can hear him
they can hear him
hey!
