Red Dog

Up at the red dog, we’ll be burnin’ our lips
We’ll be fighting the moonlight with bottles and bricks
Where the winner will be painted with flashes of light
We’ll be hopin’ that their barkin’ ain’t worse than their bite

Up at the red dog, when the howlin’ begins
If you know the right people, they will let you in
And all the money you’ve been savin’ up, at the red dog you’ll spend
All the flashes of light that you wish were your friends

Up at the red dog, I paid for my sins
Down on the pavement, I paid for ‘em again
For the men love the darkness, and the women love their men
And the red dog could very well be man’s best friend

Well, my mouth is dry
She’s lickin’ my hand
She’s chokin’ on the bone
She’s spittin’ out the fat
When she calls out my name
I will come whimpering back
Till this flesh could withstand
Another red dog attack

Up at the red dog, we are old enough to know
Every stage in the world must have a sideshow
And the show must go on so the crowd can forget
That the demons look different when the houselights are hid

Up at the red dog, you pay for your sins
Down on the pavement, you paid for ‘em again
For the men love the darkness, and the women love their men
And the red dog could very well be man’s best friend

Red dog will bring us all together again
