Puppy Hours
Bear Quartet · Early Years [2003]
take it
I walk around
just to calm down my nerves
learned to separate the nightworkers,
worried car owners,
occasional sleepwalkers
young nervous lovers
from other stalkers
it's just puppy hours awake
giving birth
to another nervous day on earth
I don't go near houses
where there's a dog to bark
and I believe I'm supervised
by the dark
how I could set fire
to all the sleepy homes
and admire the flames from a distance
but I'm still in control of my actions
and I'm not out for such satisfaction
it's just puppy hours awake
giving birth
to another dog's day on earth
out like a light
searching for its source
I walk around
just to calm down my nerves
learned to separate the nightworkers,
worried car owners,
occasional sleepwalkers,
young nervous lovers
from other stalkers
it's just puppy hours awake
I walk around
just to calm down my nerves
learned to separate the nightworkers,
worried car owners,
occasional sleepwalkers
young nervous lovers
from other stalkers
it's just puppy hours awake
giving birth
to another nervous day on earth
I don't go near houses
where there's a dog to bark
and I believe I'm supervised
by the dark
how I could set fire
to all the sleepy homes
and admire the flames from a distance
but I'm still in control of my actions
and I'm not out for such satisfaction
it's just puppy hours awake
giving birth
to another dog's day on earth
out like a light
searching for its source
I walk around
just to calm down my nerves
learned to separate the nightworkers,
worried car owners,
occasional sleepwalkers,
young nervous lovers
from other stalkers
it's just puppy hours awake
