Dogmouth is the second track off of Cate Wurtz’s 2011 album, Death in Modern America 1977-1997.
The melody and lyrical content of the verses were re-used a year later on Times to Die off of Car Seat Headrest’s 2012 album, Monomania.
[Verse 1]
If you look at the sun
Does it turn your heart to gray?
And I open my mouth
When I want to say
If you look at the sun
Won’t you tell me what you see?
And you open your mouth
Will it relatively?
If you look at the sun
Does what I want to say
If your trying to talk
That yet is grey
If you look at the sun
Then Tell me how to be
When you open your mouth
Won’t you please tell m-
[Break]
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo
[Verse 2]
If you look at the sun
Does it turn your heart to gray?
And I open my mouth
What I want to say
If you look at the sun
Won’t you tell me what you see?
And you open your mouth
Will it relatively?
If you look at the sun
(if you look at the sun)
Does what I want to say
(does it turn your heart to gray?)
If your trying to talk
(when I open my mouth)
That yet is grey
(what I want to say)
If you look at the sun
(if you look at the sun)
Then Tell me how to be
(won’t you tell me how to be)
When you open your mouth
(and you open your mouth)
Won’t you please tell m-
(will it relatively?)
[Outro]
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
Ooo, ooo, ooo
