Walking the Dog

I've been walking the dog Though not very far and for not very long Heard keep your word like a log And your soil will fare good When their wood goes to rot You got your job in the hot Bought a new auto and hopped on the pond Time was a drive and a stop Pass through the fire and pick up a cough Body gonna move Brain will stay, retain the image Strum a tune While the moon Freaks you out Out telling jokes on the street I asked for a dollar, she gave me some seed Starving, I chose to eat them instead So now when it rains, I sprout beans from my head And when I get back off the path I'll hear the dogs and the chickens, the rats And stooped in the light on the lawn I'll find you crying goodbye to her ashes Body gonna fail Land, expand, and turn to liquid Pretty soon Hum a tune If you can Body gonna feel Cold, alone, then blue and distant Pay no care When the terror Freaks you out Creeping sounds of mountains burning Sleeping through the afternoon Hey, ain't your daddy dead? Think we seen his shrinking head A'rollin around And a'moanin The blues Still, I keep walking the dog
