Lyrics

Dogbed/Sheetrock

Lyrics from Live Performance

In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep

Dream about them folks that are still missing me

In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep

Dream about them folks that are still missing me

I'm gonna set a tent up in the yard

'Cause the sheet rock comes down way too far

One, two, three, four, eight more pups

Well, I'd like to stick around to see 'em all grow up

I wanna live near where the trees are tall

But sometimes I still need to shop and all

Well, I wake up and my breath tastеs sour

In a couple more days, I'll probably take a showеr

I'd like to make sense, but just cannot do

I roll on my back and put on my shoes

But I don't go to heaven, as I wake up

Say I would've done a bunch of other stuff

I can go to heaven as I fall asleep

Hoping people miss me and they weep and weep

I can go to heaven as I fall asleep

Hoping people miss me and they weep and weep

In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep

Dream about them folks that are still missing me

Dream about them folks that are still missing me

I like to speak in soft, stiff peaks

Rubber tips on every one of my teeth

A cause needs a [?] to walk around with

Only gave ours a name

We're not your pets, hell, we're not even tamed

Just some cats coming in from the rain

Show you in the room, but let me explain

You were not the choice

So if we gave it a skeleton, it could walk around

Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around

Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around

Not just a name

Every day starts out like it's gonna break

Any word can flatten the soufflé

Yeah, things get knotted, and they drip out the same

Yeah, things get knotted and they drip out the same

It's not a science or a founded claim

It is just a hope

So just give it a skeleton and let it walk around

Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around

Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around

Not just a name
