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
