Visit From The Dead Dog Lyrics - Ed Harcourt

Got a visit from the dead dog 

He slept at the end of my bed last night 

He could tell I was fading 

And somehow fighting against the light 

Everyday when I open my eyes 

I see unwanted funerals 

Maybe I'll be buried alive 

But I've never seen you so beautiful 

Oh, I'm staying in today 

And watch the others play 

Oh, wash my sins away 

Like all good children I mean what I say 

I guess God has the last laugh 

From up on high he lets us kill 

And his people die for their faith 

And we call it triumph of the will 

All the theories in my own head 

Fragment and bump into themselves 

I'll run instead of taking a walk 

Instead of sixes I see twelves 

Oh, I'm staying in today 

And watch the others play 

Oh, wash my sins away 

Like all good children I mean what I say
