Mongrels Lyrics - Love And Hate - Joan Osborne

Whatever happened to this 

it was an island of bliss 

in this ridiculous place 

But now the river runs black 

and I don't know the way back 

I feel it going to waste 

We are the mongrels 

underneath the table 

fighting for the leavings 

tearing us to shreds 

We are the mongrels 

tearing up the floorboards 

unaware of the banquet 

up above our heads

I reach across the divide 

I want to take you inside 

but something's holding me bound 

There is a thorn in my side 

that's coming on like a tide 

these tender feelings do drown 

We are the mongrels 

underneath the table 

fighting for the leavings 

tearing us to shreds 

We are the mongrels 

tearing up the floorboards 

unaware of the banquet 

up above our heads

This is a chance for the prize 

it's waiting here in my eyes 

you hardly look at me now 

With every beat of my heart 

I want to make a new start 

but I don't seem to know how 

We are the mongrels 

underneath the table 

fighting for the leavings 

tearing us to shreds 

We are the mongrels 

rolling on the floorboards 

unaware of the banquet 

up above our heads
