Yellow Dog

Well I'm stuck here
And feeling confined
And time just keeps passing me much faster than I mind
And things are changing
But no one asked me first
And I can't tell if it's better now or if it's worse
There's this glimmer
I've seen it once or twice
I'm gonna get myself ready for the next time that it shines

There's a yellow dog and a black one too
They lie outside all day
They bark at the things that pass them by and the things that fly away
No I don't know if they think beyond this fence that my old daddy laid
But sometimes they break through and run
Sometimes they break through and run

Well I'm locked up
But I don't have the key
And I spend up all my free time trying to get myself free
And it's funny
All this noise that I make
Just trying to make some silly sounds that get me past this gate
And then the glimmer
Oooo I've seen it once or twice
Gonna get myself ready for the next time that it shines

There's a yellow dog and a black one too
They lie outside all day
They bark at the things that pass them by and the things that fly away
Naw I don't know if they think beyond that fence that my good daddy made
But sometimes they break through and run
Sometimes they break through and run

Cause I'm a dog on a chain
I'm a dog on a chain
I'm a dog on a chain on a brick in the yard, and the grass don't grow around me
I'm a dog on a chain on a brick in the yard, and the grass don't grow around me
I'm a dog on a chain on a brick in the yard, and the grass don't grow, don't grow around me

There's a yellow dog, a black one too
Lying outside all day
They bark at the things that pass them by and the things that fly away
No I don't know if they think beyond that chain link fence that my daddy made
But sometimes they break through and run
Sometimes I break through and run
