Cheap smoke Rising like a spirit in the Soft glow of a New York street No glamour or garb can hide The animal heart inside of me Lost faith Martyrs with an axe to grind Old hatreds tired & tamed Chasing the faintest trail Solemn companion pale Protects me from my name Cold reflections they tell no lies But eyes just scratch the surface... Don’t shake me Don’t make me bear my teeth You really don’t wanna meet that guy Don’t wake me Don’t let it off the leash There’s a monster livin’ under this hide Well it’s a dog’s life Holdin’ onto beauty while the Bleak nights are makin’ beasts of men The fairytale days are dead So try not to lose your head When the scent is calling again Cold reflections they tell no lies But eyes just scratch the surface... Don’t shake me Don’t make me bear my teeth You really don’t wanna meet that guy Don’t wake me Don’t let it off the leash There’s a monster livin’ under this hide Who’s evading the skin-clad wof? I hope the spoils were worth it... Who’s evading the skin-clad wolf? The eyes just scratch the surface... Don’t shake me Don’t make me bear my teeth You really don’t wanna meet that guy Don’t wake me Don’t let it off the leash There’s a monster livin’ under this hide It’s a dog’s life
