ash tuesday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in your lucid dream
I am the head you'd see
Suspended from your popcorn walls
While asbestos sung:
I bet we'd get along
Baby I can bark I got my shots in March
Let me bite the hand
God, I'm desperate for the collar
Wanna heed your beck and call
Wipe my paws at the door
Wag my tail like the dog
I am, I am
I wanna be on your cathode screen
Reflecting reds and greens
When you look at me
Baby, I'm a wreck, I want my collar back
Don't wanna play no more
(Unless I'm on your floor)
Looking up at my puppy love
Throw me a bone and I will call you home
God, I'm desperate for the collar
Wanna heed your beck and call
Wipe my paws at the door
Wag my tail like the dog
This tag it reads out:
If lost, to pound
Tail between my legs
Going back to bed unfed, yeah unfed
Going back to bed unfed, yeah unfed
Going back to bed unfed, yeah unfed
Like asbestos sung, bet we'd get along
Like asbestos sung, bet we'd get along
Like asbestos sung, bet we'd get along

You said you'd leave your windows down for me
You promised to leave your windows open for me.
And in your lucid dream
In your dream where you have clarity,
I am the head you'd see
You see me as your leader.
Suspended from your popcorn walls
Hanging from the textured ceiling in your home,
While asbestos sung: I bet we'd get along
Amidst the harmful fibers of asbestos, you believe we would become harmonious.
Baby I can bark I got my shots in March
I am capable of barking and I have received my vaccinations in the past March month.
Let me bite the hand
Allow me to show aggression,
Let me beg to be fed again
Allow me to plead for food,
God, I'm desperate for the collar
I am craving for the collar,
Wanna heed your beck and call
I desire to respond to your commands,
Wipe my paws at the door
I want to clean my paws before entering your home,
Wag my tail like the dog
I want to express my excitement and loyalty like a dog.
I wanna be on your cathode screen
I want to be on your TV screen,
Reflecting reds and greens
Showing a visual of red and green colors,
When you look at me
When you see me on screen,
Baby, I'm a wreck, I want my collar back
I am a mess without my collar, and I need it back.
Don't wanna play no more (Unless I'm on your floor)
I don't want to play with anyone else apart from you.
Looking up at my puppy love
Gazing up at you with my affectionate love like a puppy.
Throw me a bone and I will call you home
Give me some attention, and I will come to you.
This tag it reads out: If lost, to pound
The identification card attached to my collar says that if I am lost, you should take me to the pound.
Tail between my legs
Feeling ashamed and guilty.
Going back to bed unfed, yeah unfed
Going to bed hungry with an empty stomach.
Like asbestos sung, bet we'd get along
Just like how hazardous asbestos can coexist, you have faith that we would blend well together.
