Dogmeat
Lyrics by Brian Fenske
Slipped the tip across the counter over to her
With painted eyes, she winked and poured me some Joe
The turnpike's dark and lonely at this hour
I'm in a hurry, but I got nowhere to go


An old trucker man with a complex plan
Told me to keep driving south to find what it's about
But it's the same sunrise that still makes you blink your eyes
And it's the same old fears, just set in different years
I'm just hoping for some stimulation
Said, I'm just hoping I find a good situation


Bright neon signs deceive me
They turn my night into day
Before you know it
A year's gone by
And the jungle has just chewed you up...and spit you out.


Skipped the trip I had planned for the summer
And did a city-wide search for the girl of my dreams
I found this town can pull you down, if you believe all you hear
At least that's what I'm told, I still don't know what it means


Bright neon signs deceive me
They turn my night into day
Before you know it
A year's gone by
And the jungle has just chewed you up...and spit you out.


-Solo-

I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't eat meat
Just don't lump me in with the rest of those freaks
Yeah the freaks on the streets of New York City
It's a shame, it's a pity, the insanity's contagious
you start to act outrageous just to blend in, it's your
only way of defendin'...against the muggers and the crooks
and the dirty looks from kids on subways with backpacks but
no books...it's alright, it's okay, no matter what you do
it happens anyway, everyday, so lock all your windows
and your doors, safe from the taxi drivers and the young Jodie Foster whores..
No more...


Bright neon signs deceive me
They turn my night into day
Before you know it
A year's gone by
And the jungle has just chewed you up...and spit you out.
