fern is my dog, she loves to talk
and when the morning comes she'll do it nonstop
she likes to pee and menstruate all over my bed and it makes me irate
and i love you
fern is my dog, she pisses me off
you'll hear the aliens are crying out cuz' i don't know what else to blow up
fern is my dog, i know her well,
[unintelligible]
and i love you, dog
and when the morning comes i'll clean up her throw up

oscar was my dog until he died
and i cried
cuz' flower pots could never keep him alive
just in time
and when he went away i thought i'd always be the same but no
and anyway our time is still a ticking from a two and fro
so you'll be in our spirits and hearts
what the world cannot desire is a carousel on fire but
you'll be here too
so you'll be in our bodies and minds
with the floating cogs and basketball courts
and crying in the shower but
you will be there too

how does it feel when you run out of twix
that's it
no chocolate covered sticks
how can i go back in time to find the other bar
that i ate
i hate that advertisement

Laika
02:48
|

|
there is a will
there is a way
there is a dog i'm dreaming of
her name is laika from the u.s.s.s.r.
they tried to take her
and deface her
and place her on a rocket ship
that blasts off far from pluto, saturn, earth, and even mars
but when i saw the cosmonauts they weren't sure what else that they could do
and when at last i heard you died i know a tiny chunk of me did too
and in november 57
laika launched into the heaven
and we knew she'd never come back to the ground where she was bred in
and the shuttle started heating
there was no air left to breath in
and poor laika died away without a sound but her heart beating
like a drum
how fun
and now we'll never hear it
like the skeleton of a dog who flies through space until she's eaten by some aliens in the sky who don't know anything about me either
la la la
when i saw the rockets fly i wasn't sure what else that i could say
and if at last you hadn't died this song would never have been sung today
