First My Pen, Then My Dog (Cover)

[Instrumental solo] Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na [Verse] And if I had a dollar for every stillborn fly I'd fill my house with spiders And silver lighter flames that kiss propane [Verse 2] Drove through the desert with a bass heavier than I've ever heard it In a fluorescent camper van How did it get there? [Chorus] Bring my dog back home from India Come back to the bone Like I know that we don't connect that way now But I'll love whatever comes back Now I feel like myself Since you came back with my pen in your mouth that I lost seven years ago That's a long time to chew Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na [Verse 3] You came home Growed up like a man Looking at me like a friend Born in a second stance Returned from India with a straw hat New nose and a tattoo on your back [Chorus] Bring my dog back home Bring him back to the bone Like I know that we don't connect that way now Dog came walking back home With a mustache and A new accent in his bark Counting all the ways I can't stop counting the ways that it's not the same dog I know Identical in ways But the nose of the dog in India rubbed the edge of another dog's nose And now they're both not they're both not Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na [Verse 4] And on that day I watched my faithful bay run away No I know that's black and white For once I'm human and I don't see life that way [Chorus] So, what the hell? So what, it's a different dog Or maybe I'm just different and he is the same Either way, Today is today And life finds Every way So, time to embrace The chance the day offers And leave all the questionmarks Behind in the desert of doubt And drive together to the green valley of bubblegum Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na
