Because I Am My Own Dog Lyrics by Chase Petra

Lullabies for Dogs

2025

[Verse 1]
\nI walked into a church, didn't catch fire
\nProbably because
\nWe're not living in sin anymore
\nEmpty bed, empty head, empty drawers
\nBut look at all of that extra storage
\nFill the space with a dress I will wear once
\nTo your best friend's wedding in the fall
\nAnd the bride, she loves a little drama
\nLikes a reality show spat
\nWho am I to deny her that?
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nLook out for the bulldozer, rolling over
\nOnto sheets so cold they're frozen over
\nBulldozer, you don't wanna know her
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nI take myself on little walks around the block
\nProbably because
\nI am my own dog
\nNever quite learned commands like sit or stay (Never sit or stay)
\n'Cause every time I fail to listen I save my own day
\nI have slain every knight that has come for me
\n'Cause they always pull my hair
\nThey just want a little show, they wanna see (They just want to see)
\nWhat's in my head and underwear
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nLook out for the bulldozer, rolling over
\nOnto sheets so cold they're frozen over
\nBulldozer, you don't wanna know her
\nIf I was a bulldozer, wonder what you were
\nSomething heavy enough to injure a bulldozer
\nYou don't wanna know her
\n
\n[Post-Chorus]
\nNo, you don't wanna know her
\nNo, you don't wanna know her
\n
\n[Bridge]
\nShe's explosive, volatile emotions
\nUnpredictable at best and precocious
\nBut she's wild, that's my kinda style
\nStill wish she'd shut her mouth, bear the guilt with a smile
\nLeast, every once in a while now
\nSo I'll be the bulldozer, coming closer
\nI'll take your house down if it brings me some closure
\nThis bulldozer, you were lucky to know her
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBulldozer, rolling over
\nOnto sheets so cold they're frozen over
\nBulldozer, you don't wanna know her
\nIf I was a bulldozer, wonder what you were
\nSomething heavy enough to injure a bulldozer
\nYou don't wanna know her
\n
\n[Outro]
\nBulldozer, bulldozer
\nYou were lucky to know her
\nBulldozer, bulldozer\n\n
