Plateau Below - Walking the Dog Lyrics

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
