[Intro — Deep soulful hums, wobbly bass, two voices] TRIPPY DUDE: Mmmmmmmmmm... yeahhh... Who's been moving my doghouse? THE DOG: Nobody, man. You're standing in it. TRIPPY DUDE: Far out... [Verse 1 — Bouncy psychedelic rap, playful dialogue] TRIPPY DUDE: Old soul hound with no leash on my neck, No bone in the bowl, got a hole in my deck. Nose full of questions, paws full of dust, Searching for the truth, but it smells like distrust. Digging for wisdom beneath the moonlight, Found half a sandwich and it tasted just right. Everybody wants a master, everybody wants a throne, I'm chasing my tail trying to find my home. THE DOG: You buried your dinner yesterday! TRIPPY DUDE: That's my past life reincarnated as bread! THE DOG: You ate it! TRIPPY DUDE: And now it's spiritually dead! [Chorus — Funky bass, soulful harmonies, overlapping vocals] TRIPPY DUDE: Oooooohmmm, chasing my tail through the stars tonight! THE DOG: Round and round, man, you're losing the fight! TRIPPY DUDE: Oooooohmmm, searching for a place of my own! THE DOG: There's a perfectly good yard back home! BOTH: Let the good vibes roll, let the wild wind blow, One crazy universe and a flea-bitten soul. No golden chain, no fancy throne, Just a patch of grass and a place called home! [Whistling Solo — Warped whistle, funky guitar, answering dog howls] [Verse 2 — Faster rap, rhythmic interruptions] TRIPPY DUDE: They say old dogs can't learn brand-new tricks, I taught mine meditation and to levitate bricks. Got clouds for a collar, got the moon for a tag, Got a pocket full of treats and the cosmos in my bag. I don't sit for a king, don't heel for a fool, I howl at the moon like a cosmic guru. Lift my leg to the stars, send a message to Mars, Tell the aliens I'm barking at their flying cars! THE DOG: That's not how you contact aliens! TRIPPY DUDE: Then why'd that UFO just give me a wink? THE DOG: That's a plane. TRIPPY DUDE: A plane with excellent manners! [Chorus — Bigger drums, funky bass, layered vocals] TRIPPY DUDE: Oooooohmmm, chasing my tail through the stars tonight! THE DOG: Round and round, man, you're losing the fight! TRIPPY DUDE: Oooooohmmm, looking for a place where the weird feels right! THE DOG: The dog park closes at nine! TRIPPY DUDE: THEN WE'RE LEAVING AT NINE-FIVE! BOTH: Let the good vibes roll, let the wild wind blow, One crazy universe and a flea-bitten soul. No golden chain, no fancy throne, Just a patch of grass and a place called home! [Bridge — Beat drops, deep howls, tribal percussion, echoing vocals] TRIPPY DUDE: Arrrrrrroooooowwwll! I hear the moon call my name! THE DOG: That's the microwave again! TRIPPY DUDE: Every bark is a question, every growl is a prayer, Maybe heaven's a dog bed floating somewhere. Maybe life's a biscuit that we chase till we fall, Maybe being a good boy means nothing at all! THE DOG: Deep stuff, man. TRIPPY DUDE: Thanks. I ate a dictionary. THE DOG: You ate the menu. TRIPPY DUDE: No wonder my words taste like chicken! [Verse 3 — Relaxed rap, warm guitar, dreamy harmonies] TRIPPY DUDE: One lone hound in a world full of noise, Searching for my pack, trying to enjoy The cool night breeze and the stars up above, Maybe home ain't a house, maybe home is love. Spent my whole life chasing what was right behind me, Till I turned around and found the sky inside me. No leash, no throne, no need to roam, Sometimes all you need is a place called home. THE DOG: So you're done chasing your tail? TRIPPY DUDE: For tonight, my brother. THE DOG: Good. I'm getting dizzy. [Final Chorus — Soaring soulful vocals, long hums, psychedelic harmonies] TRIPPY DUDE: Oooooohmmm, no more chasing the world tonight... THE DOG: Got your pack right here, and the moon shines bright... BOTH: Let the good vibes roll, let the wild wind blow, One crazy universe and a flea-bitten soul. No golden chain, no fancy throne, Just a patch of grass and a place called home! [Outro — Fading bass, long soulful hums, distant howls] TRIPPY DUDE: Mmmmmmmm... oooooohmmm... THE DOG: Hey, man? Where's that bone? TRIPPY DUDE: What bone? THE DOG: Exactly. TRIPPY DUDE: Mmmmmmm... yeahhh... [One final ridiculous bark fades into space]
