Dog Star
Hybrid Feat Perry Farrell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ima come in on the stellar surgence
With all my love I overflow the river Nile
Rolling on for thousands of miles
We can celebrate your heliacal rising
Ooh, we can activate your Christ seeds too
Oh, It'll be fun

I don't want to wake up with a beautiful stranger

A Canis Major star
Uh huh uh huh
A major star

And when you feel the heat that licks at the street
On dog day afternoons
That's my sweet tongue
In search for you

I inherited the spirit of the sun
I'll meet you when the day breaks through
It's time to shine
And make all your dreams come true
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star

I inherited the spirit of the sun
I'll meet you when the day breaks through
It's time to shine
And make all your dreams come true
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star
Come on... wish upon a dog star

I don't want to wake up with a beautiful stranger
A Canis Major star
Uh huh uh huh
A major star

And when you feel the heat that licks at the street
On dog day afternoons

That's my sweet tongue
In search for you
