lyrics

I had a girlfriend
Made me scared of the world
I'd sit and watch the TV
Terrified of the soap opera
I was trying to sing to you
But you were scared
The Dead dog laughing in the cloud
I just wanted to walk with you
But you were tired
The Dead dog laughing in the cloud
I just wanted to be with you
But you were gone
The Dead dog laughing in the cloud
I thought you might help me get to heaven
But you were thinking of him
The dead dog laughing in the cloud
The dead dog laughing in the cloud
