Dog Door Lyrics
oh mother I want a dog
I want a little dog
I saw a little dog
his name is happy
well this is me ...
... old ...
I could be a shopkeeper
we'll call 'em ...
she got a six foot pitchfork
I see the wrecking-ball
back over here together
she got me here with or without
she got me coming through the dog door
she got me coming through the dog door
I said pitchfork
oh step-ladders
you oughta walk away
but you can't ...
... stairs
she got me gone back here
but don't sit there
she let me keep the deck-chair
she got me coming through the dog door
she got me coming through the dog door
pitchfork (pitchfork)
crowbar (crowbar)
clawhammer (clawhammer)
hot tar (hot tar)
she got me through her middle name
but she can make it rain
she got a small-town chill
and she's starving in the belly wheel
she got me coming through the dog door
she got me coming through the dog door
pitchfork (pitchfork)
crowbar (crowbar)
clawhammer (clawhammer)
hot tar (hot tar)
I want a little dog
I saw a little dog
his name is happy
... old ...
I could be a shopkeeper
we'll call 'em ...
I see the wrecking-ball
back over here together
she got me here with or without
she got me coming through the dog door
oh step-ladders
but you can't ...
... stairs
she got me gone back here
but don't sit there
she let me keep the deck-chair
she got me coming through the dog door
crowbar (crowbar)
clawhammer (clawhammer)
hot tar (hot tar)
but she can make it rain
she got a small-town chill
and she's starving in the belly wheel
she got me coming through the dog door
crowbar (crowbar)
clawhammer (clawhammer)
hot tar (hot tar)

These lyrics are way off, but that's understandable based on their obscurity. Real lyrics are:
She’s as mean as a needle Don’t get too close to the heater She’s a mean shop-keeper She’s got an extra gun She about 6’4” She’s a wreckin ball Now go ahead and kiss her She brought the bad weather with her
She got you coming through the dog door She got you coming through the dog door
Now pigs get fat Hogs get slaughtered You ought to walk away You can't but you ought to Climb the rickety stairs She got the long black hair Don’t sit there! Electricity chair
She got you coming through the dog door She got you coming through the dog door
Pitchfork (pitchfork!) Crow bar (crow bar!) Claw hammer (claw hammer!) Hot tar (hot tar!)
She’s got ruin in her name Well she can make it rain She’s a small town jail And you’re starving in the belly of a whale
She got you coming through the dog door She got you coming through the dog door
pitch fork, crow bar claw hammer, hot tar
Wow. For two minutes and forty-seven seconds, Sparklehorse turn into Nine Inch Nails.
no idea, but this song is phat.
This could just be some cracked-out ramblings. Otherwise, no idea either. Maybe uhmm. The speaker is "in the dog house" so to speak, but not just when he does something wrong. He's always at the feet of this woman. Not only sleeping in the dog house, but also using the dog door.
tom waits does back up vocals!
Don't know quite what they were thinking with this one.
This grew on me. I really love it after Eyepennies.
yeh it definatly grows on u i luf it.
