Casey Neill and the Norway Rats
Throw me to the Dogs
there's broken glass where the windows were smashedand the bricks lie toppled and brokewords on my tongue and i'm desperate to speak themwhen i try they just stick in my throat i'm choking on the years, they lie weary on memy face become knotted in scowlso throw me to the dogsi once loved their mournful yowlthere is no need for words out here in the silencewhere the ringtail stealthily walksback in the city the noise conquers allthe shopping, the swearing, the useless talkI am down on my knees under carved river canyonunder juniper my soul is laid bareso throw me to the dogsdon't you know I'm happier therethe gutters can't suck me where the dust devils blowout in painted desert of sagebrush and rockunder arroyo the turtle crawls and the skin on my face it is dry as chalkits an unspoken hunger that brought me hereout where the coyotes throngso throw me to the dogsthat's where i belong
