Spending Time with Dogs Lyrics
i spent all afternoon in the gracious company of some old dogs
we talked of simple things, vacuums, water, sunburns, and newborns
we felt the sweet relief of shared company
when we admitted none of us got ulysses
and that we're all afraid of heights, dark lakes, and losing our hearing
but my fears don't leave me, though, they're in the stale air of a basement living room
no, they orbit my head like a shadowy halo launching satellites of lassitude
but evening came, and we ran out of news and records
squirmed in our seats, sad to lose our time together
we walked out one by one, saying goodbye
and some of us lingered for a time on the lawn
and i walked home, wondering what i'd do for a lifetime
cause loneliness cuts like a bayonet
scoops out all my insides
an owner-less bible in a hospital hallway
reeking of formaldehyde
we talked of simple things, vacuums, water, sunburns, and newborns
we felt the sweet relief of shared company
when we admitted none of us got ulysses
and that we're all afraid of heights, dark lakes, and losing our hearing
no, they orbit my head like a shadowy halo launching satellites of lassitude
squirmed in our seats, sad to lose our time together
we walked out one by one, saying goodbye
and some of us lingered for a time on the lawn
and i walked home, wondering what i'd do for a lifetime
cause loneliness cuts like a bayonet
scoops out all my insides
an owner-less bible in a hospital hallway
reeking of formaldehyde
