Sleeping Dogs Lyrics - Chris Sesar

We're ok 

all our fences built 

the fields all ploughed 

and the the seed's been put out 

and all the dogs all the dogs are sleeping 

We're ok 

now that the first rain came 

little tips of green appear again 

and all the dogs all the dogs are sleeping 

so be quiet now 

'cause all the dogs all the dogs are sleeping 

and we stare at our feet 

and contemplate our hands and fingernails 

far too scared to scan across our land 

and all the dogs all the dogs are sleeping 

and we wander along 

and we wonder why it feels 

like there's a wild pack come snapping at our heels 

when all the dogs all the dogs are sleeping 

so be quiet now 

'cause all the dogs all the dogs are sleeping 

can you keep it together 

being host 

to such ferocious beast 

and their lingering ghosts 

fix the holes in your fences 

keep our loved ones inside 

listening out for the faint howling at night 

or just call them out 

throw them a bone and call them by their names 

just call them out 

throw them a bone and call them by their names 

all those sleeping dogs 

We're ok 

all our fences built 

the fields all ploughed 

and the the seed's been put out 

and all the dogs all the dogs are sleeping
