Still in town for the Chinese New Year It's the year of the dog and I'm locked in bed Over the fireworks I would hear you say I can go to the highest of heights I will know your name as I'm standing there Waiting Still in town for the Chinese New Year It's the Year of the Dog and I'm locked in bed With my head on my pillow I see you I know what you look like now I would grow inside I would see your eyes Through fire and smoke So rip down the window I need to get out I need to go outside So rip down the window I need to get out I need to go outside So rip down the window I want to go outside So rip down the window I want to go outside And the fog made monsters I hope that I will But I can hear the voice inside my head That's telling me the weather's no good I think I'm overrun By voices that don't mesh very well A constant nagginess And how I feel so well Took the back roads til I found Myself on a highway With the notion that I'm better off You're trying to change You're free and divorced And if I could feel a laugh for today Just scratch my car and feel my body For once I'd say So rip down the window I want to go outside So rip down the window I want to go outside So rip down the window I want to go outside Tonight It's the Year of the Dog And I'm locked in bed So rip down the window I need to get out I need to go outside Go outside I want to go outside Still in town for the Chinese New Year It's the Year of the Dog And I'm locked in bed
