I know you'd rather be outside Playing with your friends Digging holes and climbing fences I just want you to know You are my best friend in the world I hope you understand When I'm coming home and you're waiting by my door I know that you're hungry You can scratch my couch straight to hell As long as you will stay by side Until you see a squirrel climbing up a tree Then I'll let you chase it down I spent all my beer money getting rid of your fleas So you could be outside playing with your friends again Everyone on 2nd Avenue They watch you around They always tell me They always tell me I'll never ever have that big bag of money But I promise to always have some food for you And I can never sleep when you are out all night I wish that you were home I'm just about to watch Twin Peaks The one where Leo Johnson comes out of his coma I know my apartment's small It's all I can afford Just tell me that you'll never leave I spent all my beer money getting rid of your fleas So you could be outside playing with your friends again Everyone on 2nd Avenue They watch you around They always tell me They always tell me
