Dogbed in heaven / give it a skeleton


In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep
Dream about them folks that are still missing me
In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep
Dream about them folks that are still missing me

I'm gonna set a tent up in the yard
'Cause the sheet rock comes down way too far
One, two, three, four, eight more pups
Well, I'd like to stick around to see 'em all grow up

I wanna live near where the trees are tall
But sometimes I still need to shop and all
Well, I wake up and my breath tast?s sour
In a couple more days, I'll probably take a show?r
I'd like to make sense, but just cannot do
I roll on my back and put on my shoes

But I don't go to heaven, as I wake up
Say I would've done a bunch of other stuff
I can go to heaven as I fall asleep
Hoping people miss me and they weep and weep
I can go to heaven as I fall asleep
Hoping people miss me and they weep and weep
In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep
Dream about them folks that are still missing me
Dream about them folks that are still missing me

I like to speak in soft, stiff peaks
Rubber tips on every one of my teeth
A cause needs a skeleton to walk around with
We only gave ours a name
We're not your pets, hell, we're not even tamed
Just some cats coming in from the rain
Show you in the room, but let me explain
You were not the choice

So if we gave it a skeleton, it could walk around
Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around
Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around
Not just a name

Every day starts out like it's gonna break
Any word could flatten the soufflé
Yeah, shit gets gnarly, then it drips back the same
Yeah, earth gets gnarly then it drips back the same
It's not a science or a founded claim
It is just a hope

So just give it a skeleton and let it walk around
Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around
Just give it a skeleton and let it walk around
Not just a name

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
