Dogs Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

One dog buries a bone and then the 

Other dog digs it up and finds 

A prize in store 

One dog dies and the other dogs go 

Dig him up a tomb, with his 

Name inscribed 

Chorus: 

And there, on his tombstone 

Carved so bold 

The words are clear and strong 

It says: 

This one is for the eyes 

For the eyes of the other dogs to come 

It's for the eyes of the other dogs to come 

One man digs a hole while the 

Other another one shovels dirt inside 

Another hole 

One man says hello, while 

Another man is leaving on a 

Long journey, to a place he'll not return 

Chorus repeat 

Every entrance has an exit 

Every doorknob has a twist 

I wonder what my face looked like 

Before it looked like this? 

Chorus repeat
