9.When Good Dogs Do Bad Things
作词：Michael Allen Patton, Benjamin A Weinman
I'm the best you will ever have
You're the best I'll never have
Pain gone, rain stop, sun shine, you're mine
Here kitty, kitty, kitty
Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy
Listen, listen through the walls
The sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall
Whispers, the pages turning
The leaking roof, the toilet flushing
Numbers on the license plate
I'm nothing more then
The best you'll never have
A speck on your bedroom wall
A blood red waterfall
The best you will ever have
Your dead things are locked up inside
Blow smoke rings straight back in time
Roses floating out with the tide
Dance and sing under gunfire
Open wings slowly take flight
Around these parts a fly can live
A fly can live a thousand years
But a man cannot die soon enough
True enough
A smiling drunk nursing a glass of milk
A girl with a face like prison bread
Over the kitchen noise a hear them howl at me
A scabby ketchup bottle and a two-dollar bill
I guess it's time to pay the bill
But you know I never will
I'm hungry still
Run away, run away, run away, run away
Mercy killing on the way
Never thought I'd hear you say
Falling to your knees and pray now
In this crowded place I could swing a cat
And not even hit a soul
It's just the lonely vacuum of human black holes
And I'm as dry as these thirsty trees
With big city thoughts in the dirty breeze
Promising to set me free
Waiter, check please
I'm the best you will ever have
