Stray Dogs Lyrics

Dreary days are slipping by A mental noise that keeps hammering This biting anger - the endless pain An ominous fear that still goes on And the lights turn off again The sun sets and darkness grows When drabness weaves its way And reveals the true face of decline The stench of the sewers Circulates around the hallways An iron taste of corrosion that Surrounds the flickering lights Light dying stars stringed on a wire Crackling - discharging - expiring Amidst a downward spiral Of a feigned and false tranquility ...And the faint... it grows And grows and grows... ...As the world... it goes And goes and goes... A straying dog that howls in rage Left alone and on the run Broken-down with a shattered spine Srawing circles on the edge Like a rat sliding down the drain An abysmal fall into uncertainty Adead man walking A prowler in the night Hunting his own shadow Beneath the traffic lights A dying star Crackling - discharging - expiring
