Family Dog

Chicago’s an hour behind
It’ll be an hour behind you at 3am
The bus is too noisy to reassure me now
I’m like the family dog that you can’t put down
though your father will tell you it’s cruel
I piss on the carpet and hump all your friends, but I’ll wait for you
Yes, I’ll wait for you to come…
Home is where you made your first mistake
Home is where you live to rue the day
It’s where all your shoes are
Just talk a little bit more
just one more minute to hear you breathing
You might tell me something I didn’t want to know
I’m like the family dog that you can’t put down
though your father will tell you it’s cruel
I piss on the carpet and hump all your friends, but I’ll wait for you
Yes, I’ll wait for you to come home
