Bubblegum Dog

Bubblegum dog, tell me what the truth is Isn't this bed a log? Doesn't that confuse things? Shouldn't I run? Isn't that the white man? None of this seems like fun But maybe that's the point, man For years, I've strung you along Afraid of the bubblegum dog And it's finally catching up with me I hope it's a false alarm But the pain of the bubblegum dog It's finally catching up with me Who would believe I saw? Tenement homes built upon a fault line Juvenile quetzal birds living in the coal mine Manicured lawns Tibetan straw men Igneous basketballs drifting through the heavens I felt hate toward the earthly world But hate is a very strong word And it's finally catching up with me The years of plodding on In fear of the bubblegum dog It's finally catching up with me So I'll pray it won't be long I'll wake up and it's all gone You and me, we'll keep it calm My bubblegum dog The shame of vitriol aimed at the bubblegum dog It's finally catching up with me And I hate this bubblegum world But hate is a very strong word And it's finally catching up with me So we'll hide 'til it's gone Boil the ones that don't belong Pay the man to keep it on Days are short and nights are long Bang our heads against the gong Maybe tinkle on the lawn One for all and all for one My bubblegum dog
