lyrics

Call your monster in
from the balcony
gotta keep him on your side
tell him everything
tell him everything
but don't let him see the tide

of amber Sundays
broken Mondays
such a miserable kid
crawling glass
first cigarette
second cigarette

feed him stories
former glories
it should hurt a little bit
tender shadows
wiping red from
the corner of your lip

may you suffer
bundled underneath a bus
just a little twitch
in the night

let him see that
you're uneven
no one ever did the math
cause and effect
gone to seed and
you won't ever get them back

say it's easy
oh so easy
to secretly forgive
while the spinner
keeps on winning
in your place

call your monster
back from the boarded up
and the battered front door
back to hell with
every stranger
we don't need anymore

say it's simple
always simple
to forget that you forgot
call it Sunday
amber Sunday
everbody needs a dog

everybody needs a dog
