The Day We Put The Dog Down Lyrics by Russian Girlfriends

In the Parlance of our Times

2019

Up before the alarm and I'm empty
The shower only rubs it in
It's been six days since he's stopped eating
He's done living but his heart's still beating
The night before we paced the apartment
Carving canyons into the carpet
Now we drive in total silence
Goddamn I need some coffee
She's shaking as she signs the papers
I don't think I've ever seen her so upset
But we both agreed it's for the best and
We make adult decisions
We called him "good boy" and we cried like kids
And we held him 'til he fell asleep
Well how do I explain the sickest of feelings
When we left he was still breathing
The day we put the dog down
The day we put the dog down
The day we put the dog down
She said that everything would be all right
I told him everything's gonna be all right
We lied and said everything's gonna be all right
Well everything's gonna be all right
We spent the morning moaning
Making chit chat over breakfast
We made plans for the weekend
Like nothing ever happened
We spent the morning moaning
We were too poor to keep his ashes
We made plans for the weekend
Like nothing ever happened
