The Duke Spirit
"Dog Roses" lyrics

Dog Roses

I hope you stay in charge of your mouth
I hope you stay in charge of it
When nothing's fluid
You drink yourself through it
Outside, you draw, draw yourself

Feel the breeze
That's a real thing that touches your skin
But memories
Well, they're not real
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There's nothing there

Now can we visit your old house again?
I feel as though I've left instructions there
Could it be that you were so small that
The garage room, well, they've pulled it down
Oh, nothing's ruined
Cause we still have the picture
Of dog roses and stuff for the pyre
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh yeah
Have you always slipped backwards
Just now, I see you always slip backwards
Oh you, will you always slip backwards
Just now, oh you always slip

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
There's nothing there
