Time tells butterfat lies   Sweet lousy cupcakes of lies   I'll comply and I shall play along   I was born in the year of the dog      And the blue black tattoo, it crawled up my arm   Scribbled vines crawling my arm   [Incomprehensible] rose up and it cried an alarm   Sounded alarming alarms      And laid on the lawn and the dawns   Of the morning got warm      Queer fear in severe clear   Scrunch your fat face like a doll   I got made in a candy floss smog   I was born in the year of the dog      And I drove in my car where the hills stand to shore   Over and down to the shore   Then I threw out my dreams, so I'd dream them no more   Drown them and dream them no more      Then I sat and I stared at the waves   From my primer gray Ford      And I'm listless and lost and I cry all the time   Lost and I cry all the time   And I felt just the same, though I chuffed up a line   High but I felt just the same      And the steam from my cup, a girl loved   And it spelled out her name
