For the Dogs
Once upon a time
Tomorrow would follow today
And once upon a time
There were still words left to say
And time, it seems, will never tell
Of promised was-to-be:s
All the dreams we might as well
Trade for memories
And I wish that I could take you in my arms
Hold you close and keep you safe from harm
Tell you all will turn out right
But I believe we're heading for the dogs this time
The things we always knew
We'll never know for sure
The things we used to do
Now are all before
And echoes of a happy song
In broken harmony
We tell ourselves to stay strong
Apologetically
And I wish that I could take you in my arms
Hold you close and keep you safe from harm
Tell you all will turn out right
But I believe we're heading for the dogs this time
I'm sure we're all just waiting for the spaceship
To take us to a better day
But when we reach the final airstrip
The tickets sold out anyway
And I wish that I could take you in my arms
Hold you close and keep you safe from harm
Tell you all will turn out right
But I believe we're heading for the dogs this time
This time
Tomorrow would follow today
And once upon a time
There were still words left to say
And time, it seems, will never tell
Of promised was-to-be:s
All the dreams we might as well
Trade for memories
And I wish that I could take you in my arms
Hold you close and keep you safe from harm
Tell you all will turn out right
But I believe we're heading for the dogs this time
The things we always knew
We'll never know for sure
The things we used to do
Now are all before
And echoes of a happy song
In broken harmony
We tell ourselves to stay strong
Apologetically
And I wish that I could take you in my arms
Hold you close and keep you safe from harm
Tell you all will turn out right
But I believe we're heading for the dogs this time
I'm sure we're all just waiting for the spaceship
To take us to a better day
But when we reach the final airstrip
The tickets sold out anyway
And I wish that I could take you in my arms
Hold you close and keep you safe from harm
Tell you all will turn out right
But I believe we're heading for the dogs this time
This time
