Stray Collar (NDC - Summer Bingo D1)

(Verse 1) Dust on the leash, howl at the cresent moon, Scratch at the door of a motel room. Feral eyes in the mirror grin wide, Got a pack of ghosts on my passenger side. (Chorus) I’m just a stray collar, worn and torn, Sleeping in the backseat ‘til the break of dawn. Paws on the dashboard, claws in the sun, Growling down the highway ‘til the fuel is gone. (Verse 2) Left my master in a liquor store haze, Chained to a nightmare of concrete maze. I bury my bones in the fever sand, Got fleas in my blood and a crooked plan. (Chorus) I’m just a stray collar, worn and torn, Sleeping in the backseat ‘til the break of dawn. Paws on the dashboard, claws in the sun, Growling down the highway ‘til the fuel is gone. (Bridge) Feed me whispers, feed me lies, I’ll fetch your secrets where the desert hides. No leash tight enough to hold my head, I’m a pet gone wild, chewing through the thread. (Outro) Stray collar, stray collar, Howlin’ farther, gettin’ smaller. Burn the kennel, break the chain, Let the wild dogs sing in the pouring rain. [Fade-out]
