A Dog Starved Lyrics by Augie March

Haven’s Dumb

0

Muddy and familiar tracks lead into the room where no-one goes
Only I know its true dimensions -
In a hotel on a burning shore, derelict and furnished by the war
That no-one ever mentions
Give it all away, baby give it all away, nobody wants to
Hear about the price you pay, you're a dog starved
Everybody knows their own, stick to their imaginary zones
To keep the information
We only differ from the rat, given a stranger in the pack
In how we improvise to tear the strips from him
Give it all away, baby give it all away, nobody wants to
Hеar about the price you pay, you're a dog starvеd
Now do you play the beating organ for attention
Or to effect a gerrymander of the soul
You hear the murmuring of mournful incantation
"don't re-enrol, don't re-enrol"
Today you only have to play along
Or make it seem as though you tried
Or did I ever only play along? Why would I?
Half an hour of rain, half an hour of sun
In ode to violence the island sings its uncanny song
And I can only think I don't belong, and is this oblivion
Is this oblivion?
And so the pattern will repeat
See the same worm at the same sheet
Where all desires seem to wane or taper
You say no worst, now there is none
Look how the palimpsest has won
How father breaches son like brick through wallpaper…
Give it all away, baby give it all away, nobody wants to
Hear about the price you pay, you're a dog starved
Give it all away, I've got to give it all away, I've got to give it all away
Just a dog starved
