Lyrics:
Rusted and ropy.
Dog-eared old copy.
Vintage and classic,
Or just plain Jurassic:
All words to describe me.
Relaxed in the knowledge
That
my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you? Flightless bird
Jealous, weeping
Or lost you,
she would not be saved
All her instincts lead a different way
In the pocket by her heart
Is a dog-eared Polaroid
A picture of a girl with her arm
my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you? Flightless bird
Jealous, weeping
Or lost you,
one day you'd had it
Exiled your close advisers
Ousted your dog-eared rabbits
You're through with pacifiers
You're through with pacifiers now
Asphalt orange wheel
Dog-eared alphabetic
Rubber turns to steel
Platinum vegetation
Blue-eyed chandelier
California milk dust
Freeze dried gerbil
and tested
My dog-eared maps to study and fold
Into a pocket, I'm traveling light now
All that we have is all that we hold
My soul companion
In my heart
my feet on the ground.
My feet on the ground.
A dog-eared page, a book I've read
So many times it's all there in my head.
I watch every word
E-lectric bulb been out for years
Freezer fumes feed the gas tears
Cheese in the corner with a mile long beard
Bacon blue bread dog eared (repeat twice)
a harp
Electric bulb been out for years; Freezer fumes feed the gas tears
Cheese in the corner with a mile-long beard
Beggin' blue bread dog-eared
Dog-eared pages across the globe
A collection of stories untold
Can anybody unwrap this soul
A collection of stories untold
Dog-eared pages across
Remember one Christmas, I gave you Jim Carroll
Intended it as a cautionary tale
You said you saw yourself inside there
Dog-eared it like a how-to
a harp
Electric bulb been out for years; Freezer fumes feed the gas tears
Cheese in the corner with a mile-long beard
Beggin' blue bread dog-eared
dog-eared and frayed
Like Old Testament verses
That make sense sense in this decade
Don't let the light fade
I won't let the light fade
Chasing these
dog-eared and frayed
Like Old Testament verses
That make sense sense in this decade
Don't let the light fade
I won't let the light fade
Chasing these
year
And all of our book's pages dog-eared
We write out the ends on our palms, dear
Then forget to read
And we couldn't know that the sun was
and tested
My dog-eared maps to study and fold
Into a pocket, I’m traveling light now
All that we have is all that we hold
My soul companion
In my heart
those dog-eared magazines
When you were in the scene
But now that you're gone
There's never gonna be another
Never gonna be another like you
You'll find something to curl up with
Though dog-eared and slightly foxed
Lady, do I have a story that I could tell you
And every other word of it is
the dog-eared pages on your shell
You never talk except about yourself
All the red eyes in the room
Tried to rearrange your world for you
[Chorus]
Lucille (Lucille), glad you're doing alright
But I wonder who's keepin' the baby tonight
Well I'd walked off the stage to a old dog-eared page
Finally
low tree stumps are covered
With a dense, prickly layer of pine needles.
Here lay his three-cornered hat
And the dog-eared tome of Parny.
God decided
Our stories end here in his dog eared diary
As I lay here dying I've been
Dreaming of how I could right it
Make our peace but God decided
the single malt behind
Took a pill to sleep, but in my dreams
You, I'd always find
I ate up the box I put you in
Un-dog-eared the pages, pulled out the pin
I
