Zillionaire Lyrics - Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

Gonna tell the tale of a dog named Zillionaire 

Who stands on the back of a whale 

Howling out in the middle of the ocean 

Waves of dog emotion howl on 'til you find your sailor 

Howl on 'til he carries you home 

Hear him calling for his master 

A sailor lost at sea who sank inside 

A splash and disappeared beneath 

Zillionaire was left drowning in his sorrows 

Riding on a whale, drifting in tomorrow 

Howl out for your sailor, howl for yourself 

Howl out for someone to carry you home 

Race car driver skinny head lookin' out the window 

Race car driver skinny legs pressed against the pedal 

Faster than a second thought speeding 'round the bend 

Never gonna be caught dead 'less they're at the end 

Race car driver crazy fool, don't worry about nothin' 

Ball of fire burning heat, slammed against the wall 

Never calculated this thing happening at all 

Twelve excited people saw the ambulance arrive 

Everybody knew that he was more dead than alive 

Race car driver crazy fool, he don't worry 'bout nothin' 

Race car driver crazy fool, he don't worry 'bout nothin' 

Kept crashin' ooh, crashing ooh, crashing ooh like waves 

Way out where the water is blue there's no land to be seen 

The sky and the ocean fuse together like events inside a dream 

When the sun sinks in the water stars look down and blink at the 

Sailors standing on deck who smoke cigarettes and think 

And sometimes when the waves are mellow 

All crashed out you can hear that lonely dog howling out 

Howl out for you master, howl all night long 

And maybe he'll hear you and carry you home
