Temple of the Dog

Well she cried, and she cried
All night to the sound of the freeway hum
And she swears shell be gone
When the sun hits the ground
And she aint coming back to my cell

Well shes tired and shes tired
Of this life shes been leading too long
And the times turns around
Through the walls that surround
To the chimes of a jailors song

In my four walled world

Well she tries and she tries
But my feet just wont leave the ground
And Im tired and Im tired
Of this prisoners life, and these chains
That drag me down

In my four walled world

And now the sun is low
And these walls try to break my soul
And now the moon is full
And I wont see nothing tonight
But the tears in her eyes and
My four walled world

You call me a dog well thats fair enough
cause it aint no use to pretend
Youre wrong
When you call me out I cant hide anymore
I have no disguise you cant see through

Well you say its bad luck
To have fallen for me
Well what can I say to make it good for you
You wore me out like an old winter coat
Trying to be safe from the cold

But when its my time to throw
The next stone
Ill call you beautiful if I call at all

You tell me Im low cause Ive slept on the floor
And out in the woods with the badgers & wolves
You threw me out cause I went digging for gold
And I came home with a handful of coal

But when its my time to throw the next stone
Ill call you beautiful if I call at all
And when its my time to call your bluff
Ill call you beautiful or leave it alone
You call me a dog
Well thats fair enough
It doesnt bother me as long as you know
Bad luck will follow you
If you keep me on a leash and
You drag me along
