“The Walk” is one of The Cure’s more obscure singles and deals with romance from the perspective of a dog.

The Walk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
[Verse 2]
We walked around the lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again
[Verse 3]
Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
And both play dead then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?
[Chorus]
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything
Everything, everything, everything
[Verse 3]
I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
[Chorus]
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything
Everything, everything, everything
[Outro]
Take me for the walk
Take me for the walk
Let's go for a walk
Take me for the walk
