He doesn’t give answers to questions
\nAs he locks up Justice from our ears
\nAnd you follow ’till your sense of morality
\nCompletely disappears
\nBy the blue steel walls near the Pentagon
\nThere’s a hidden door She leads you to
\nThese days, She says, I feel all life
\nJust like a bludgeon running through
\nThe year of the dog.<\/p>\n
Well, He looks at us so coldy
\nAnd His eyes bead like a beast on the brink
\nShe comes in incense and patchouli
\nBut you rape her, to plant seeds of mass deception
\nThe year of the dog.<\/p>\n
Well, morning comes and you’re still horney
\nAnd the bus and the homeboys are gone
\nAnd you’ve thrown away thy soul and lost thy ticker
\nBut you have to go on
\nSo the drum-beats angst of the night remain
\nIn the fester of the new-born day
\nYou know sometime you’re bound to face Her
\nBut for now you’re going to stay
\nIn the year of the dog.<\/p>\n
On a morning from a Bad Movie
\nIn a country where they talk in rhyme
\nYou go strolling through the crowd like Julius Caesar
\nContemplating power
\nShe comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
\nLike a watercolour in the rain
\nDon’t bother asking for explanations
\nShe’ll just tell you that your naked
\nIn the year of the dog.<\/p>\n
