The Cavedogs

The Cavedogs were a power pop band formed in Boston during the mid-1980s. The band featured Brian Stevens (bass/vocals), Todd Spahr (guitar/vocals) and Mark Rivers (drums/vocals). The trio broke up in the early 1990s, but reunited for several shows in 2001–2002, 2010 and most recently for the WMBR Pipeline! 25th anniversary festival in 2014 and the 2015 Hot Stove Cool Music benefit.

Her in the mirror you seem to fear her now
She's takin' up the space that once made her so proud
Beauty is passion you've seen it rationed out
Remember what you had was in but soon in doubt 

It's drilled into your head
You live it till you're dead 

Sally doesn't sleep a lot at night
Sometimes she wished she could
But the preparation must begin with the light
To look is to be good 

The stranger inside her sees what's confined her fade
Taking what you want and hiding it away
The Model you follow seems is too hollow to need
Whatever is inside starts pushing at your seams 

It's drilled into your head
It's the only thing you're fed 

Sally doesn't dream a lot at night
The days just seem too full
Be contented with the world her mother said
You are too beautiful 

Her in the mirror you seem to fear her now
She's taking up the space that once made her so proud
Beauty is passion you've seen it rationed out
Remember what you had was in but soon in doubt 

It's drilled into your head
You'll live it till you're dead 

Sally doesn't sleep a lot at all 
She never really could
It's so late and straight and all along
She never understood
So she throws the curtains open the whiten streetlights 
Fill the empty room
But they're just passin' by no one can see 
That she is beautiful
