Dog Years

They said I have a universal blood type
I can give to anyone in need
But only receive from someone exactly like me
And I'm trying to B positive but O it’s really hard
I'm a loner, I'm a loser, won’t you shoot me in the yard
Put me down like a lame horse, or send me to the farm where all the dogs go

I’ve been a really good dog
Can I come inside?
Yeah I’ve been such a good girl
Can we go for a ride?
I'm on a real short leash but I like it tight
You know I'm such a sweet girl but I can really bite

’Cause my dog died last year, he fell asleep in my embrace
And the very last thing I told him was: See you soon and we can race
You know a mercy-kill is what I seek
I didn’t ask to live but dying’s up to me

I’ve been a really good dog
Can I come inside?
Yeah I’ve been such a good girl
Can we go for a ride?
I'm on a real short leash but I like it tight
You know I'm such a sweet girl but I can really bite

They say all dogs go to heaven
Well what about a bitch?
What about an evil girl left lying in a ditch?
Tell the three people who ask that I am in a better place
With lots of trees and lots of grass and lots of lots of chocolate cake

’Cause I'm not old but I am tired
I'm not strong, I'm very weak
I'm not old but I am tired
I'm not here, I'm somewhere else
I'm not old but I am tired
I'm one hundred ninety-six in dog years
I have seen enough
I’ve seen it all

I’ve been a really good dog
Can I come inside?
Yeah I’ve been such a good girl
Can we go for a ride?
I'm on a real short leash but I like it tight
You know I'm such a sweet girl but I can really bite
