Damned Old Dog
Yearning Paws: Unleashing Desires in Damned Old Dog's Melody
Lyrics
Do I wanna be a dog?
Considering the possibility of becoming a dog.
Any diddlin' male would do
Expressing openness to any male partner.
If I was a damned old dog
Imagining being a troubled or condemned dog.
I wouldn't be fussy for you
Indifferent to specific preferences for a partner.
Do I wanna be a housebroken dog
Contemplating being a domesticated, well-behaved dog.
Eat better than an indian
Comparing the quality of living to an Indian (Native American).
I don't wanna be a damned old dog
Rejecting the idea of being a troubled or condemned dog.
I just wanna lick your chin again
Desiring simple affection, expressed through licking.
I thought that I could convince you
Hoping to persuade or win someone over.
I thought that I could get through
Believing in the possibility of successful communication.
Chew out a hole in the fence you
Making a metaphorical reference to overcoming obstacles.
Barked up between me and you
Describing a barrier or conflict between individuals.
Limpin' around in the moonlight
Symbolic description of discomfort or guilt under moonlight.
Coverin' up what I did
Concealing or hiding actions and their consequences.
Words decompose all around me
Communication breakdown with words breaking down.
Nuisances I committed
Acknowledging committed nuisances or mistakes.
Do I wanna be a dog
Revisiting the desire to be a dog.
Cut the heat out of me
Desiring relief or escape from emotional distress.
If I was a damned old dog
Imagining the freedom from human complexities as a dog.
I wouldn't have to goddamn human be
Expressing frustration with human existence.
