Hairshirt |
| I am not the type of dog |
| That could keep you waiting |
| For no good reason |
| Run a carbon-black test on my jaw |
| And you will find it’s all been said before |
| I can swing my megaphone and long arm the rest |
| It’s easier and better |
| To just beat it from the chest |
| Of desire |
| I could walk into this room |
| And the waves of conversation are enough |
| To knock you down in the undertow |
| So alone, so alone in my life |
| Feed me banks of light |
| And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung |
| It’s a beautiful life |
| And I can hang my hairshirt |
| Away up high in the attic of the wrong dog’s life chest |
| Or bury it at sea |
| All my life I’ve searched for this |
| Here I am, here I am in your life |
| It’s a beautiful life |
| My life |
| It’s a beautiful life |
| Your life |
