Barking Dog

[Verse 1]
It is not your fault
You wield a dullish sort of knife
You are made up of atoms from
Someone who like a wishbone
Has left you in the sun to dry

[Chorus]
And don't you know
You can't stop the tears from coming
Baby, you were always meant to drain
And no amount of loving
Can stop the dog from barking
When she's in pain

[Verse 2]
Yellow lawns are quilted in the streets
Where I fell smack
Dab into you
Now we're bound by blood and gore
Blades of grass indent my elbows
You can numb the sting but nothing more

[Chorus]
'Cause now I know
You can't stop the tears from coming
Baby, you were always meant to drain
And no amount loving
Can stop the dog from barking
When she's in pain

[Refrain]
Smack dab into you
Smack dab into you
Dab into you
Smack dab into you
Smack dab into you
Dab into you

[Chorus]
'Cause now I know
I can't stop the tears from coming
Baby, I was always meant to drain
And no amount of loving (Smack dab into you)
Can stop this dog from barking (Smack dab into you)
'Cause she's in pain (Dab into you)

[Outro]
(Smack dab into you) I am the sum of parts
(Smack dab into you) Kick back and watch me spark
(Dab into you) Take all the things I lack
And brace for impact 'cause
The centre will not hold
Darkness reaps what darkness sows (Dab into you)
(Dab into you)
