0:01I am not the type of dog
0:04That could keep you waiting
0:09For no good reason
0:15Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
0:22And you will find it's all been said before
0:37I can swing my megaphone
0:43And long arm the rest
0:50It's easier and better
0:52To just beat it from the chest
0:57Of desire
1:01I could walk into this room
1:09And the waves of conversation are enough
1:24To knock you down in the undertow
1:32So alone, so alone in my life
1:57Feed me banks of light
2:03And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
2:09It's a beautiful life
2:13And I can hang my hairshirt
2:18Away up high in the attic of
2:22The wrong dog's life chest
2:30Or bury it at sea
2:37All my life I've searched for this
2:54Here I am, here I am
3:10In your life
3:17It's a beautiful life
3:25My life
3:29It's a beautiful life
3:36Your life
I am not the type of dog That could keep you waiting For no good reason Run a carbon-black test on my jaw And you will find it's all been said before I can swing my megaphone And long arm the rest It's easier and better To just beat it from the chest Of desire I could walk into this room And the waves of conversation are enough To knock you down in the undertow So alone, so alone in my life Feed me banks of light And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung It's a beautiful life And I can hang my hairshirt Away up high in the attic of The wrong dog's life chest Or bury it at sea All my life I've searched for this Here I am, here I am In your life It's a beautiful life My life It's a beautiful life Your life
