Текст песни Year of the Dog (Mike Doughty) с переводом

Time tells butterfat lies

Sweet lousy cupcakes of lies

I’ll comply and I shall play along

I was born in the year of the dog

And the blue black tattoo, it crawled up my arm

Scribbled vines crawling my arm

And the rose, it rose up and it cried an alarm

Sounded alarming alarms

And I laid on the lawn and the dawns

Of the morning got warm

Queer fear in severe clear

Scrunch your fat face like a doll

I got made in a candy floss smog

I was born in the year of the dog

And I drove in my car over the hills down to shore

Over and down to the shore

Then I threw out my dreams, so I’d dream them no more

Drown them and dream them no more

Then I sat and I stared at the waves

From my primer gray Ford

And I’m listless and lost and I cry all the time

Lost and I cry all the time

And I felt just the same, though I chuffed up a line

High but I felt just the same

And the steam from my cup, a girl loved

And it spelled out her name
