lyrics

I just passed a dead doggie out in the street
and I pondered I prayed that don't happen to me
to die in a public place and have nobody sees
well my four-legged friend here's to you c'est la vie
I'll just drown in my thoughts while the wheels of the world still turn

so take down the notes and don't put up a fuss
it'll be quite a while till they listen to us
your words are impressive but oh such a waste
if you hide in your bedroom on a red ribbon day
just alone with your thoughts while the wheels of the world still turn

we'll climb the tree cos that ride is free
while the dumbfound policeman is looking for me
so I'll wait till dark then it's out to the park
to run away what's left of these shoes

I passed up the pool to just sit home and be
cos water or not I think you'll agree
that I'll drown in my thoughts while the wheels of this world still turn
alone with my thoughts while the bulk of this world starts to burn.
