Handsome Family - 3-Legged Dog lyrics

Like a 3-legged dog you've called in sick Sure there's seconds of pleasure but so many moments of pain And you can't snap your fingers and you don't talk so straight You want to be loved, but you probably can't make it anyway Now the ground is cold and there's no fire around An absence of fire and you're just cold and I've seen this dog in my sleep He chases my father too, when he dreams between the sheets But, we all think it's time for you to quit. Take a last swig of that Cabernet But, I tell you my friend I won't forget you And the world's not clean, but they get mad when you're dirty If you've handled some food, you better wash up Like a 3-legged dog you got three feet You can't walk fast or f**, but you still get in heat You can't wag your ears or flap your tail But I still see you wandering down by the wishing well When the ground was young and caves were col You've stayed out all night and you're just too old
