[Verse 1]
Moondog won't stop crying at me
And it's shameful, but I should know by now
I can't tame her
I should know by now I can't chase her
When she runs off
Found moondoggy high on a beach off some downers
That she stole from some Hollywood palace
The rest of 'em stowed in our mattress
Just a backpack
[Chorus]
Your eyes don't look back like the moon
You forgot you were ever a child
Your eyes don't look back like the moon anymore
Like you've already died
Oh, I'd give mine to bring moondog back to -
[Verse 2]
And if you wanna live like a dog, lying dormant
On the floor of the house you were born in
Curled up in the corner with no one
I can't stop you
But if you wanna die like a dog, with no warning
On the floor of a house we don't own yet
Splayed out in the corner by morning
Supine with eyes that you'll forfeit
Cracked, the two mirrors distorted
Your body repose, broken porcelain
I won't let you
[Chorus]
Your eyes don't look back like the moon
You forgot you were ever a child
Your eyes don't look back like the moon anymore
Like you've already died
Oh, I'd give mine to bring moondog back to life
