Lyrics Throw The God A Bone - Tony Levin

Throw The God A Bone

My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god
My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god
I think that she suspects I am not perfect
But we both know she doesn’t really care
Cause she believes her food appears by magic
and she notices that I’m the one who’s there
My dog Lilly… My dog Lilly
My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god
My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god
I took her to our local doggie school
and she quickly mastered every trick they had
but once we got home she’d break every rule
look up at me, and feel real bad
Throw the god a bone
If you can reach him on his cell phone
Cut that god some slack
if you expect to ever have him call you back
Give that dude a break
before you tell him that he’s made some big mistake
And you do not have to feel so all alone
Everybody sometimes has to wind it up and
throw that god a bone
My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god
Say, every dog thinks that we all are gods
They can see we all know how to drive a car
And we’ve just about built condos on the moon
That we might create life’s not so bizarre
if not already it may happen soon
Being a god’s not always great
and gods have come and gone before
There are some godly fundamentals
Up on Mt. Olympus you can’t buy
it’s only rentals
My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god
Every dog thinks that we all are gods
And if one day we create some new species
then we’ll be quick to teach them how to pray
but you can be sure they will test their leashes
and do just what they want to anyway
Throw the god a bone
If you can reach him on his cell phone
Cut that god some slack
if you expect to ever have him call you back
Give that dude a break
before you tell him that he’s made some big mistake
And you do not have to feel so all alone
Everybody sometimes has to wind it up and throw the god a bone
If you can reach her on her cell phone
Cut that god some slack
if you expect to ever have her call you back
Give that babe a break
before you tell her that she’s made some kind of
great big huge mistake
And you do not have to feel so all alone
Everybody sometimes has to wind it up and
throw that god a bone
