Working Dog

lyrics

Colorful visions
Anywhere but the present
It’s not a miracle
Just TV channel surfing

And the static climbs
The static climbs
The static climbs
The static climbs

I’m a working dog
Without a farm
I’ll do my best to keep you
Out of harm’s way
Without a job, I’ll chew my arm
Without a job, I’ll chew my arm to the bone

Carrying the planet
Wearing it like a blanket
Yeah, my shoulders are heavy
But I’d float away without it
And I’m no quitter

Where’s the finish line
The finish line
The finish line
The finish line

I’m a working dog
Without a farm
I’ll do my best to keep you
Out of harm’s way
Without a job, I’ll chew my arm
Without a job, I’ll chew my arm
I’m a working dog
Without a farm
I’ll do my best to keep you
Out of harm’s way
Without a job, I’ll chew my arm
Without a job, I’ll chew my arm

Wish I could curl up by the fire
Wish I could trust affectionate hands
Wish I could float down the river
With no body and no plans

But the blood coursing inside of me
Calls fireworks artillery
And quiet makes it worse, I dream
Of cattle thieves
Wolves coming for my sheep

I’m a working dog
I’m a working dog
Tell me I’ve done a good job
I’m your working dog
