Lyrics:

give me a dollar or give me 50 cents

let me take it back if that ain't what I meant

give me a coat or give me a bite

give me a light bulb and make sure it's bright

give me the moon or give me everywhere

give me some powder to spray up in the air



let me take my thoughts away to think about another day

remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me

to be the dogman



give me some attention lend me your ear

give me what to do and get me out of here

give me a book give me something to read

give me a horse race and give me who's the lead



let me take my thoughts away to think about another day

remembering the times I pray to help me deal with me

to be the dogman



all the sleeping never waking all the leaves in need of raking

all the business undertaking all my bones and muscles aching

thoughts and mind are surely flaking over

luncheons hands are shaking

surety of no mistaking cars and horns and glass is breaking



give me a color make it black or white

give me a newspaper tell me if it's right

give me a nail or give me a bat

give me a skinny or give me a fat



remembering the times I pray to let me take mythoughts away

to think about another day to help me deal with me

to be the dogman
