Lyrics:

Tim Vesely

There he is on the top of a mount
Sharing biscuits with his dog
(Meaning 'he' in the general sense of the word
As he is all of us here)
And his dog asks him why he's alone
He replies, 'Well, I'm with my friend
Or are you leaving me to join in the blur?
'Cause I don't need you around.'

Palomar
What's wrong? Where'd your dog go?
'Well, he's gone for fresh meat and supplies
'Cause he's done this before.'

He arrives in town an hour later
As he's much quicker on four legs than Pal is on two
He takes his usual spot out back of the butcher shop
Waiting patiently for closing time
Meanwhile back on the mount
Palomar is cleaning his lenses with saline waters
He reassembles his kaleidoscope
And waits patiently for dog

Palomar
Why not... take this chance
To reflect on things that you done did
And make it better?
Why don't you just try without asking why?

What could be better than a room with a view
And a lovely little doggie to share it with?
'When he gets back we will share in our meat
There's always something good to eat.'
(Mmmm.)
So let's leave him alone in his observatory
Rejoin the little dog in our story
He's run off with some cur who's bearing his pups
That's the last of his tale

Palomar
What's wrong? Where'd your dog go?
Well, he's gone for good
And that goes to show you
That love is thicker than brains in a man
Or a dog
It's the same thing
