Junkyard Dog (Tears On Stone) Lyrics
So you never meant lettin' it go this far
The lifestyle that seemed so charmin'
You couldn't see
They saw you comin'
Buried you in their sin
Promisin' ecstasy
You were so blind
Look out
'Cos now the dog's inside you
The Junkyard Dog speaks for you
Ain't no master of the Junkyard Dog
How does it feel to live
Where there's no dimension?
I wonder if it was ever your intention
A straight-A student
Straight down the drain
Master of the mainline
Keeper of the ball and chain
You were so blind
Look what you've done now
Rolled the dice for paradise
Damn you for taking bad advice
'Cos now the dog's inside you
The Junkyard Dog speaks for you
Ain't no master of the Junkyard Dog
Frozen there jackknifed forever
In the foaming jaw and invisible claw
Ain't no master of the Junkyard Dog
Ain't no master
Now you're gone, what an irony
My friend, I feel not much sympathy
No one could tame you
You wouldn't listen
Voices in your head
Screaming absolute submission
And now the dog's inside you
The Junkyard Dog speaks for you
Ain't no master of the Junkyard Dog
Frozen there jackknifed forever
In the foaming jaw and invisible claw
Ain't no master of the Junkyard Dog
Ain't no master
You were so blind
Look what you've done now
Rolled the dice for paradise
Damn you for taking bad advice
Baby, ain't no master of the junk
I guess my pride got the best of me
But it would have taken a war
To get through to you
I knew, I'd walked out too soon
When I found you on the floor
No it's never been the same
The dreams they come
They never change
Nothin' left, my tears fallin' on stone
No it's never been the same
Guess, I've only got myself to blame
See the nest, the bird has flown
There's nothin' left but my tears fallin' on stone
Oh, yeah
I see it, never thought you'd go this far
Just a temporary face for the innocence
If you could forgive, I can forget
It's so hard to close my eyes
The dreams they never change
No it's never been the same
Nothin' left, my tears fallin' on stone
No it's never been the same
Guess, I've only got myself to blame
See the nest, the bird has flown
There's nothin' left, my tears fallin' on stone
Oh, yeah
I guess my pride got the best of me
There's nothin' left but my tears fallin' on stone
Damn you for taking bad advice
Damn you for taking bad advice
