Dogs

By The River

Dogs


By the river through cobwebbed crannies we crawl 
Up against them all 
Under bridges and over graffitied walls 
We sin and fall 
All our craving our midnight ravings our love affairs 
Were born right there 
I swear 

I dont know how it started 
Or if it's ever gonna end 
But ever since we parted 
I've had a feeling that is 
Strange 

From the dirty old dealer in his bivouac 
To the meadow by the river off the beaten track 
With a pocket full of poison 
We wont forget this one 
To the bloody stained floors of the local casualty 
With television eyes and a loss of dignity 
To the boys in blue 
What we gonna do 
I dont 

I dont know how it started 
Or if its ever gonna end 
But ever since we parted 
I've had a feeling that is 
Strange, strange 

We grew up with this every day 
But the smiley faces helped us out, in a way 
We got broken bones, sick on the floor 
A bloke who thinks he's a matador in the way 
In our way 
We got silhouetted, caught light headed in the field 
Where we lay 
And i hope your better mate coz i can't stop getting afraid 
If you ok 
We were by the river 
We've got cold steel legs and shivering heads 
At the thought of how we're coming down 
We're getting out of this town 
I dont 

I dont kniow how it started 
Or if it's ever gonna end 
But ever since we parted 
I've had a feeling that is 
Strange, strange
