Killing the Day - Tendency to Exist

If a Heart Were a Dog

If a heart were a dog
It might be stroked by loving hands
Set free to run the beaches of white sand
To breathe in the clean fresh ocean air
It might pass time, tail wagging
In its favorite shady place
Tongue rolled out forever
A foolish smile upon its face

If a heart were a dog
It could make best friends with a child
Have a big back yard and dream a while
Wear collars of all the latest styles
Hear every high pitch secret sound
Chase its shadow, itch its fleas
Or be forever chained within its pound
Yeah, chained within its pound

Now if my heart were a dog
It would be found dead on the side of the road
Its insides out, exploded
Blood and bones being picked by flies
As the traffic rushes by forever
Its white teeth open wide
And frozen stiff in one last howl
Up towards the sky
Yeah, up towards the sky
Yeah, up towards the sky
Up towards the sky
Up towards the sky
