"Me And The Dog" lyrics

"Me And The Dog"

I've got a big chip on my shoulder
So big that the seagulls dive
It's a mark that I've inherited, like convictions in my stride
Small town induced psychosis
Grows rife, it's in its prime
Oh, I know they wanna maim me
Oh, they all have an axe to grind
I saw all the pictures doing the rounds
Saw a girl looking black and blue
I heard whispers of foul evil, and I knew that it was you
But I don't need a nemesis
I've got my hands full with myself
So I lean on psilocybin
For my waning mental health

It's just me and the dog
Oh, I need no one else
It's just me and the dog
Oh, I need no one else

Oh, I stood and waited solemnly
With patience of a saint
But in my mind's a'howlin'
It gags all time and space
I was screaming up at Jesus
But He never, ever came
I was hardly that dumbfounded
It's His usual fucking state
But I know I'm not alone here
See my kin on every street
In the high school cafeteria
Being branded there as freaks
In the caustic, scathing echoes
In ears of children of divorcees
In the haunting on-hold jingles
And the poor soul on the street

It's just me and the dog
Oh, I need no one else
It's just me and the dog
Oh, I need no one else
Oh, It's just me and the dog
I need no one else
It's just me and the dog
Oh, I need no one else
