231220: Sleeping Dogs

from Leap Songs, Part 2 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Am I supposed to let sleeping dogs lie
In the middle of a cold black night
Do they bite worse than they bark
The sleeping dogs in my heart

What if the sleeping dog is a man and
What if he just don't give a damn
If a lie feels like a scar
The sleeping dogs in my heart

Lie to keep me sleeping
Lie I'll believe it
Lie and say you done me like you should

I can't understand it
Why my fellow man is
Trying like hell to make bad sound good
Damn sleeping dogs

Are we the last two dogs on earth
Are you waiting 'til I say it first
That you're a dog from the dog pound
That I really oughtta' put you down
Before you
