lyrics

(good dogs, i like you both lots)

i start to write it before i change my thinking cap
i'd stay to tell you that i'm leaving with the welcome mat
i had a good time but you tied me to that apple cart
so now i'm running from a bunch of sick and broken hearts

i wrote a letter to my sister up in illinois
i said 'i miss you but i sure as hell don't miss the noise
my small apartment has turned into a mansion, dear
i'm unemployed but i'll never be baptized in fear
so take this letter as a sign of better times' arrival
i'm sick of running from the infants thumping broken bibles
and now i'm going off the top of my head, girl
cause i love you and i wish i could give you the world

slow down, won't you,
sit down, won't you,
oh, you gotta know
that i'm thinking of you,
that i'm loving you'

(something resembling…paper)

'and always tell em that you've got another root beer,
and if you don't you'll have before your last meal
don't ever edit the truth within your nervous system
and if you can you gotta cut back on the television
it gets so weird when the words get attached to sounds
what once was nice is getting really preachy now
but sister listen what i have to sing is all of love
i said above it just ain't what you were thinking of
always tell em you got another pocketbook
and if you don't you will before your last crook
don't ever edit the truth within your nervous system
and if you can see if you can sing it with em'
