I watch the way you move
And I count by the way you press your eyes
And by the little things that put you down
Ride the rails to where you are, help me thank you all
Let me fuck you all, and by the way you bitch and masturbate
The bold ones carry on and on the way your prayer comes up
And have fun, the way to carry on

I'm a dog, I know, I'm a dog

It's the only way, it's the corner stay
Push the freight along and grant them all their little
Goddamn shitty things
In the light it grows, slower than before
"Ten-four, they've got to burn, the 9.3 will come to carry on"

Gimme some of your good loving
I need your good loving
Dog, I'm a dog, I know I'm a dog
I'm a dog, I know I'm a dog

Oh, Elvis, yer just standin' there and completely naked
And I's jest thinkin' to m'self
"Goddamn-it boy! You've come a quite a little while for
Such a little country doggie"
And now it's touching himself in private
How many people do you know who can make it through
Life without ever buying a goddamn vowel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Strapping Young Lad's song Drizzlehell are heavily laden with sexual innuendo and crude language. The singer seems to be watching someone closely and assessing them by their movements and actions. They mention riding the rails to where this person is and asking for them to perform sexual acts. The singer acknowledges that they are a dog and seem to be content with pushing freight along and giving in to base desires.

The second verse speaks of carrying on, but it is not clear what exactly is being carried on. The singer mentions burning something and the number 9.3 coming to carry on. The chorus is repeated, with the singer asking for good loving and acknowledging their canine nature.

The final lines of the song take a bizarre turn, mentioning Elvis Presley standing naked and the singer reflecting on life without buying a vowel. The lyrics are intentionally cryptic, and the meaning behind them is up for interpretation. It could be seen as a commentary on base human desires and our animalistic nature, or simply as shock value lyrics meant to provoke a reaction.
