All The Dogs Are Lying Down Lyrics by Johnny Flynn

A Larum

2008

[Verse 1]
I saw prayers being made with
Plastic rosaries
Carpets laid
No thought for furniture
[Chorus]
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying
[Verse 2]
As I crept 'way with cracking bones
The steeple rose the way unknown
The steeple [?] has set me down
I listen to the furnished ground
[Verse 3]
She said soft things, said, “One who lay"
I turn to see the one turned gray
An ash burnt brim with nought he wept
But to the ground my ear had bent
[Verse 4]
Said softer things and as hath I
The while my horse had run a mile
And lying in the black I wept
For ne’er a lad so wayward crept
[Bridge]
Listening hard I felt too young
The wayward saw with older tongues
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
Screws on screws on left down lip
I’ll burn my day, rue my night
Lost in the battle and found in the fight
Three bought flash tame
Jump up sick flames
One left and one gone
Nine left and I’m gone
I’m gone, I’m gone, I’m gone
[Verse 1 Refrain]
I saw prayers being made with, plastic rosaries
Carpets laid, no thought for furniture
[Chorus]
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying
All the dogs are lying down
All the dogs are lying
