Green Dog |
| Walkin' 'cross the desert, it ain’t no fun |
| To hide in the daytime in too much sun |
| Lefty says, ‽We'll cross at night time |
| Like my people always have to |
| Keep moving, quit nagging, walked or run†|
| I asked Lefty, ‽Why we bring so much, chief?†|
| ‽Coyotes, buddy, just you wait and see |
| Coyotes eat anything, buddy, long as he’s free |
| ‽Suppose they want little something extra, Lefty |
| Might be you and might be me†|
| Well, the desert’s dark |
| And the desert’s deep, stars everywhere |
| Something like you’ve never seen |
| Sittin' in your easy chair |
| Watch out, Lefty, something strange is comin' down |
| Look out, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a fire tincan |
| Got those coyotes on the run |
| Out steps a green dog as green as he can be |
| Or maybe she 'cause when they’re wearing space suits |
| You can’t tell 'cause you can’t see |
| In my world to the purple my circle |
| And I to blame |
| A red cat is really something new |
| I’m so far from home |
| Can you tell me what should I do? |
| Do you think there is room for me |
| In this strange land |
| I’m sorry I scared your friends |
| I write poetry |
| Did you struck me? |
| How about me? |
| In my world everyone is a fraud |
| Shaking hands, saying, ‽How do you do?†|
| Guess you’ve noticed we all look the same, it’s such haste |
| I’d rather take a chance here with you |
| ‽They triedâ€, says Lefty |
| ‽Let's see how fast this crate can fly |
| Her va-va-voom says Lefty |
| Watch the coyotes scatter |
| And watch the towns go streaking by |
| Kingman, Barstool, San Bernardino |
| Just won’t do |
| Go West, you green dog |
| Hollywood, the place for you |
| Green dog, green dog, green dog |
| You’re so red, so red |
