lyrics

5th song: licking inkling EDAmC

i’m just a dog with that licking inkling to keep on moving forward toward nothing

i’m just a fly fretting where i’m going my arms so sore from rowing in circles round this room

i’m just a rat twisting through a maze won’t someone from up above please help me find my way

i’m just a rose always too soon blooming carelessly assuming that the winter snows are over

i’m just a train traveling through a tunnel so dark and wide can’ t see the other side

connect the dots between the saintly stars trace them near and far wonder where you are

i’m just a shoe that’s always needed shining the sun comes
undermining everything i do

my enemies once friends that kept me bleeding way down here on my knees i’ve left them to their preaching

i’m just a dog barking in the night begging simple favours won’t you please come fill my bowl
