The Dog-end of a Day Gone By - Love And Rockets

Dog-End of a Day Gone By

There’s a man on the corner

Coming on like Moses

Flogging new religion

like a bunch of plastic roses

He’s found his path

To the bleeding heart of jesus

You tell him

You’ve found yours

Heir to a future

You never made

There is nothing less amusing

Then the amusement arcade

In a city without a soul

Newspaper boys selling you the hard truth

Lucifer employs idle hands by night and day

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy

Don’t let the smoke get in your eyes

Well the drunk outside the Wendy’s

Is becoming less than friendly

A dog is barking at the moon

The drunk outside the windy

Is becoming less than friendly

A dog is barking at the moon

You want to get away

From the city of light

Then when you’ve gone

You want to get back

It is some strange addiction

When you need to put yourself

Back in your eye

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy

Don’t let the smoke get in your eye

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by

Stuck at the dog-end of a day gone by, boy

Don’t let the smoke get in your…

Stub out the dog-end of a day gone by, boy
