ROTTING DOG

We thought we made a friend
We swore it wouldn’t end
We swore it wouldn’t end
All I did was sleep
And Pasteur did weep
And Pasteur did weep

Its been long dead
Bury the rotting dog

We kept it around
It didn’t make a sound
It didn’t make a sound
A sign of life was shown
Maggots among the bone
Maggots among the bone

Its been long dead
Bury the rotting dog

We spent the time we got
And danced around the rot
And danced around the rot
The rot got into me
And it just couldn’t be
And it just couldn’t be

Its been long dead
Bury the rotting dog

While it slept we wept
Dug its grave and wept
While it slept we wept
Dug it’s grave and wept

Flies sprung from the host
Whispers of the ghost
Whispers of the ghost
I knew what do
I gave the shovel to you
I gave the shovel to you

Its been long dead
Bury the dog

While it slept we wept
Dug its grave and wept
While it slept we wept
Dug its grave and wept
