The kids are nervous
You're turning blue
What the hell is Mr Howard going to do
The kids are nervous
You're turning blue
What the hell is Mr Howard going to do
In a rush of blood at 10 in the morning?
Come on slowly
It takes a few years
What the hell, the bourbons and the beers
Come creeping up on you without any warning
Hey Mamma? What's wrong with that?
Why does he look so sad?
But she doesn't care anymore
He's sleeping it off on the floor
Dr Jekyll and the poison crew
They really got a thing about you
You're always good for a laugh
When you are on your way down
But who's counting?
You don't have a clue
It's been a hard day and you do what you do
Everybody is surprised when your head hits the ground
The UDL's and the chardonnay
They really take the end off the day
You're facing your fears again
Drowning in your tears again
It's only a means to an end
Killing the year of the dog
So where will you run to now?
But nobody showed you how
To find love in a dangerous world
La la la la la la la la la
Disappointment
Get over it now
It isn't easy but I'll show you how
To bore the hell out of everyone in the room
People care
But they run out of steam
Just keep repeating the same broken dream
Sooner or later they are going to run when they see you
I saw you coming
A mile away
Sorry to break it this way
They can smell it on you
Old Jack is a poisonous brew
Escaping the pores of your skin
God knows you can't keep it in
I know it's hard
But you die on your own
Just take it easy
You're almost home
To the only ones that can help you
In the year of the dog
