lyrics
From the slums of Montreal
Tied to your back gate all night long
Barking from the fog
I won’t bite the hand that feeds
But I will beg for scraps of meat
Could you feed me?
I’m not the butchers son
As I walk up Saint-Laurent
Would you sing me a song?
When I get the title shot
I can hear the bones crush
You can beat me
With bottles of residue
She said she always knew
I’d grow up to be just like you
Bite through flesh and skin
The Fighting never ends
Tomorrow night were are doing it again
You can’t and you wont save me
You can’t and you wont save me
You can’t and you wont save me
Just leave me behind I’m already dead
I froth at the mouth like a mad dog
You can’t sleep at night with your eyes open, with your eyes open
I froth at the mouth like a mad dog
You can’t sleep at night when you are paranoid, I am paranoid
You can’t sleep at night when you are terrified, utterly terrified
You can’t sleep at night when you are nothing, I am nothing
Tied to your back gate all night long
Barking from the fog
I won’t bite the hand that feeds
But I will beg for scraps of meat
Could you feed me?
I’m not the butchers son
As I walk up Saint-Laurent
Would you sing me a song?
When I get the title shot
I can hear the bones crush
You can beat me
With bottles of residue
She said she always knew
I’d grow up to be just like you
Bite through flesh and skin
The Fighting never ends
Tomorrow night were are doing it again
You can’t and you wont save me
You can’t and you wont save me
You can’t and you wont save me
Just leave me behind I’m already dead
I froth at the mouth like a mad dog
You can’t sleep at night with your eyes open, with your eyes open
I froth at the mouth like a mad dog
You can’t sleep at night when you are paranoid, I am paranoid
You can’t sleep at night when you are terrified, utterly terrified
You can’t sleep at night when you are nothing, I am nothing
