lyrics

If you ever stop barking,
I might stop thinking you're a dog.
I know the night is cold and dark,
but, hey, at least it's long.
I know you thought I was a trap
that you could set,
but it's so easy
to step in what you did forget.

So we will wheel our shopping carts on down the road,
until we find a place to sleep
where we are not so slapped by snow.
And maybe you will lose me in the snowblind --
you will sleep alone --
but isn't that better
than together in this home?

I remember standing on the beach with Elby
when she told me she was wearing special panties,
and I didn't understand,
'cause I was still such a boy.
And she said she needed such-and-such a man.

But, we could both smell the dying
of a hundred sea lions
as they bloated -- some popped open -- in the sand.

And we prayed for rain or for waves
to wash the stench of their decay --
and of our prayers --
away.

Black sand, black sea, black sky on fire,
black panties thin, a hand slipped in,
pink skin, and then
red blood red blood red blood red blood,
black sand, black sea, black sky on fire,
black panties thin, a hand slipped in,
pink skin, and then
red blood red blood red blood red blood red blood
red blood red blood red blood red blood red
blood red blood.

Elby, you said the world's ending,
but, in your heart, you believed something darker.
You said the world's ending,
but in your heart, only in your heart.
Elby, you said the world's ending,
but, in your heart, you believed something darker.
Elby, you said the world's ending,
but in your heart, only in your heart.
Elby, you said the world's ending,
but, in your heart, you believed something darker.
Elby, you said the world's ending,
but in your heart, only in your heart.
Elby, you said the world's ending,
but, in your heart, you believed something darker.
Elby, you said the world's ending,
but in your heart, only in your heart.

And you said, "Change is something you give to someone
who begs you for it
when you're weak,
and you're weak,
and you know it."
