Year of the Dog

Still in town for the Chinese New Year
It's the year of the dog and I'm locked in bed
Out of fireworks I will hear you say
I can grow to the highest of heights
I will know your name as I'm standing there
Waiting

Still in town for the Chinese New Year
It's the Year of the Dog and I'm locked in bed
With my head on my pillow I see you
I know what you look like now
I will grow inside
I will see your eyes
Through fire and smoke

So roll down the window
I need to get out
I need to go outside
So roll down the window
I need to get out
I need to go outside
So roll down the window
I want to go outside
So roll down the window
I want to go outside

And if I could make the most of this
I hope that I would
But I can hear the voice inside my head
That's telling me the world is no good
I think I'm overrun
By voices that don't mesh very well
A constant nagging
Asking how I felt so I

Took the back roads til I found
Myself on the highway
Forget the notion that I'm better off
You're trying to change
I'd brave the frozen lakes
If I could feel alive for today
Just crash my car and feel my body
For once I'd say

So roll down the window
I want to go outside
So roll down the window
I want to go outside

So rip down the window
I want to go outside tonight

It's the Year of the Dog
And I'm locked in bed
So roll down the window
I need to get out
I need to go outside

I want to outside
I want to go outside

Still in town for the Chinese New Year
It's the Year of the Dog
And I'm locked in bed
