Stan Ridgway - Dogs

One dog buries a bone
And then the other dog digs it up
And finds a prize in store
One dog dies and the other dogs
Go dig him up a tomb with his name inscribed

And there on his tombstone carved so bold
The words are clear and strong
It says:

This one is for the eyes
For the eyes of the other dogs who come
It's for the eyes of the other dogs to come

One man digs a hole while another man shovels dirt
Inside another hole
One man says hello while another one is leaving
On a long journey to a place he'll return

And there on his tombstone carved so bold
The words are clear and strong
It says:

This one is for the eyes
For the eyes of the other dogs who come
It's for the eyes of the other dogs to come

Every entrance has an exit
And every doorknob has a twist
I wonder what my face looked like
Before it looked like this?

And there on his tombstone carved so bold
The words are clear and strong
It says:

This one is for the eyes
For the eyes of the other dogs who come
It's for the eyes of the other dogs to come
