Annie-Dog

[Chorus]

Amphetamine Annie-Dog

Has her leash and a face

Her velvet spleen

Her shackle spine

Her diamond curse

It comes with mine

[Bridge]

A vessel she for violent I

Confession arms a wake

Mine, mine, you were always mine

Possessed by my taste

[Verse 1]

And below, the angel dog

Combs her hair and sings her psalms

The bombs go off, she doesn’t notice

It all goes wrong, she sets things tragic

She is Venus, she is Mars

She’s electric, and the struggle of

Upon her face, we leave no trace

But in her stomach, mercury aged

She holds the blood

She carves the knives

She tapes the wires in our babies

[Chorus]

Amphetamine Annie-Dog

Pulls her trash and her stories

From place to place, and bed to bed

Gives of herself and the magnet head

Another floor, another ceiling

Counting stars with double meanings

[Bridge]

Is it wrong to be swallowed whole?

To disappear in her?

To give to her the priceless peace

Of giving up control?

[Chorus]

We tumble out into the streets

And Annie-Dog, she drags her leash

Pretty face, ugly mouth

Bitter bred and so released

[Verse 2]

And by the no, and in the yes

Annie goes, if you couldn’t guess

A simple man, a sycophant

Her elephant with the laughing call

She wants clean sheets, and fresh flowers

And dental shots, and the Hong Kong glue

[Outro]

Amphetamine Annie-Dog

Has her leash and a face
