the dog / the body

Singer:sleater-kinney

i'm just the dog

i'm just the body tonight

i'm just the fist without the will to fight

and when the shadow comes

i'll have a place to go and hide

you always said my head was what i'd never leave behind

i'm just a sketch

i'm just an outline tonight

i am the dog

i am the body

alright

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

can't keep saying the same old lines

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

gonna go and be alone

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

can't see my way out of this night

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

if you go

i'll be alone

i'm just the prop

i'm just the puppet tonight

i'm just the trick without the magic

alright

and when the darkness comes

and i don't have the nerve

the might

uninvite myself and turn out the light

goodnight

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

can't keep saying the same old lines

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

gonna go and be alone

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

can't see my way out of this night

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

if you go

i'll be alone

if you wanna go

can't find a reason not to leave

if you feel unknown

can't find your name or the dream

nothing feels like home

can't find a wall to hold

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

can't keep saying the same old lines

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

gonna go and be alone

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

can't see my way out of this night

baby

baby

baby

i don't mind

if you go

i'll be alone

baby

baby

i don't mind

i'm tired of saying the same old lines

baby

baby

i don't mind

if you go

i'll be alone

i am the dog

i am the body tonight

if you hear me howl

know i made it out alive
