Dog and Pony

dog and pony
empty our cabinet
you never forget
you never come back the same
each time you go up in flames
each time you begin to blame
you never come back the same

just a little bit more love...for me
just a little bit more love...but it's alright
don't cry, my sweet

you were born
unto me, I'm torn
unto me, I'm worn
unto me, unworn

so I danced my dance
and I kissed your hands
and I took a chance
and we fell into a trance

just a little bit more love...for me
just a little bit more love...but it's alright
don't cry...my sweet

say one, two, three...
you sitting on the rooftop
me begging here on my knees
I stayed in love with you
you're just falling in love with me
and darling you know that ain't right
so if love never lasts forever ever

little brother
little lover
twist these strings of fate
there is no clean slate
so I'm carting away
all of myself
in this metal crate

and my dog and my pony
and my empty file cabinet
you never forget
you never come back quite the same
each time you go up in flames
each time you begin to blame
you never come back quite the same

just a little bit of true love...for me
just a little bit more love...but it's alright
don't cry...my sweet
