I Guess I Gotta Thank the Neighbors...

I have a cozy studio in my backyard where I do most of my writing and recording and rehearsing. The neighbors over the back fence have 2 dogs, and they leave them outside when they go to work each day. We live on the same block as a fire station. Every time the fire truck leaves the station with its siren blaring, these dogs can't help but chime in, and their high, lonsesome voices ring on long after the fire truck has put out its fire and returned home. My dog doesn't howl, none of the other dogs on the block seem to notice the fire trucks, but THESE two are apparently struck deeply by the wail of the siren...

 

Lonely Dog Tango

realaudio mp3

To be a dog is ruff sometimes
My master leaves me at home and I’m
Sad on the couch, sad on the rug, sad by the door
I gnaw on a lonely bone

The clock on the mantel says ‘tick-tock’
I drink from my bowl, I dream of a walk
I sit, rollover, play dead, I growl
I’m hounded by heartache, I unleash my mournful howl

Aroooooooooooo

I stop... What’s that? Someone’s pounding the door
It’s the neighbor, he’s shouting my name once more
I bark, I snarl, I frighten him away
He’s not my master - I will not obey!

Aroooooooooooo

The sun’s going down- Master, where are you?
I’ve chewed all my toys, I’ve chewed on your shoe
Off in the distance a fire truck rolls by
My heart aches with pain as I hear its lonesome cry

Arooooooooooooo
