"Dogs In The Daylight" lyrics

There you stand like a scare crow
All hot from your fears
Falling birds they fly low
And steal from your fields
And the plows lay rusted
And the farmers lay dead with their wives

And you shake when the wind blows
And cuts through your bones
Made of dust and cloth
And pieces of straw
And you hope at that house on the hill
Where nobody's home

Pound your chest child
And take a step now into the wind
Drink your water down
Until your tears oh they come back again
For a man is only a man until he isn't

You see the cows are still mooing
And chewing all their cud
And you lay in the streams
To play in the mud
And the world she begins to spin
As she ever was

But then a map of your mother
Burned but not gone
It comes back like a boulder
Tumbling on
A boy with no shoulders
To carry the world away

Pound your chest child
And take a step now into the wind
Drink your water down
Until your tears oh they come back again
For a man is only a man until he isn't

And the wolves in the dark
They're only dogs in the daylight
All the wolves in the dark
They're only dogs in the daylight
And the wolves in the dark
They're only dogs in the daylight

So pound your chest child
And take a step now into the wind
Drink your water down
Until your tears oh they come back again
For a man is only a man
A man is only a man
A man is only a man until he isn't
