Don’t Wrestle Dogs (Bloodmoon Remix)

[Verse 1]They wrote it down in dirt and smokeOn broken boards and tavern jokes“Don’t throw rocks at passing kings”“Don’t do dumb, impulsive things” Mama said “boy act right”Stay inside when falls the nightBut the moon came up like a loaded drumAnd I felt that trouble in my lungs [Pre-Chorus]There’s a list of rules I never readThey nailed it up beside my bedBut every line just feels like baitAnd I ain’t been good at hesitate [Chorus]Don’t throw rocks, don’t fight stray dogsDon’t get lost in the midnight fogDon’t go out when the bells all ringDon’t do wild, feral things Don’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogsDon’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogs(HEY!)Don’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogs…yeah I probably should not [Verse 2]Saw a man with a missing handSaid “rules ain’t rules, you understand?”Said “every warning’s paid in blood”Then laughed like it was kind of fun There’s scratch marks carved in every doorLike someone tried to leave beforeAnd every dog I see at nightLooks just a little too damn wise [Pre-Chorus]They say behave and you’ll be fineBut something’s walking past that lineAnd every rule begins to bendWhen something out there wants you, friend [Chorus]Don’t throw rocks, don’t fight stray dogsDon’t get lost in the midnight fogDon’t go out when the bells all ringDon’t do wild, feral things Don’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogsDon’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogs(HEY!)Don’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogs…yeah I probably should not [Bridge — tonal shift begins]What if the rules ain’t made for youWhat if they’re made for what comes throughWhat if the dogs ain’t dogs at allWhat if they’re waiting for you to fall [BUILD — transition to #megalorave]Don’t—Don’t—Don’t wrestle— [DROP — #megalorave expansion]Don’t wrestle dogs(dogs… dogs…)Don’t wrestle dogs(dogs… dogs…) Don’t throw rocks / don’t fight dogsBad ideas in a small town fogHands up high when the night goes wrongEverybody scream that peasant song Don’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogsWe don’t listen ‘til it goes too farDon’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogsWe don’t learn ‘til we wear the scars [Final Chorus — anthemic]Don’t throw rocks, don’t fight stray dogsDon’t get lost in the midnight fogDon’t go out when the bells all ringDon’t do wild, feral things Don’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogsDon’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogs(HEY!)Don’t wrestle dogs — don’t wrestle dogs…yeah I definitely did
