Lyrics:
Doesn't
anybody feel
That
all these killers should be killed
All
these healers should be healed
So
all these beggers can be filled
Now
tell me why am I to lie
If
I'm holding firm and feel the right
to
lie down beside this dog of mine
And
let that perverted though really run through my mind
I'd
scrape my toes across the floor
This
day's the same as those before
And
though inside I'm feeling giddy
Always
wrong for never giving myself an uninvaded door
So
now I'll take a little glue
I'll
put together a new glittered room for you
So
I can start sitting so pretty
Instead
of sitting here not seein' clear
Just
sitting here not fittin' here
No
things ain't fittin' here
I'll
just lay my head down beside this God of mine
And
let that perverted thought burn a hole in my mind
And
if I can't lay my head beside this God of mine
Maybe
the hunter's dog called God
Could
be a friend in time
