You try to find the world inside your head
You run and hide but still, you end up dead
Take me to that special place I know from dreams and lies
Cover your eyes
You don’t need those anymore
You read and write but never understand
You train and fight but can’t defend the land
Open up, I’m here for you
You can tell me anything
We could have the clearest view if you throw away that wedding ring
You sit and stare but you can’t look within
You wait and swear your life will soon begin
You’ll go to that special place you know from dreams and lies
Cover your eyes
(Open up, I’m here for you)
You don’t need those anymore
(You can tell me anything)
You don’t need those anymore
(We could have the clearest view)
You don’t need those anymore
(If you throw away that wedding ring)
You don’t need those anymore

Reflection
03:06
|
|||
Staring at the same face every day
Waiting on the words that it’s gonna say
Waking up the four-eyed human
Lever stuck and now I’m fuming
Operate the speech, but nothing arrives
They’re all gonna think he’s a pretty mean guy
I can’t say the things I’m thinking unless you take me out drinking
And my body is a vessel, a receptacle for you
to do anything you wanna do
I am your reflection, and you’re mine, too
Taking baby steps in my adult diapers
Feeling pretty low like it’s a cry for
“Help me please, I’m in a bind,
you can’t get me off your mind”
Lifting up a foot and now I’m walking
Tonguing at my cheek, that’s how I’m talking
I output the words you see through, that’s why I’ll never believe you
And my body is a vessel, a receptacle for you
to do anything you wanna do
I am your reflection, and you’re mine, too
Open up my mind, open up your soul
Step into my brain with your heart of gold
I’m trying, I’m trying
Open up my mind, open up your soul
Step into my brain with your heart of gold
I’m trying, I’m tryyyyyyyy—
—and my body is a vessel, a receptacle for you
to do anything you wanna do
I am your reflection
And my body is a vessel, a receptacle for you
to do anything you wanna do
I am your reflection, and you’re mine, too

Murder on the Mind
05:08
|
|||
The landlord tells me to be quiet
So the next night, I start a riot
He texts me, calls me a pest
I tell him, “When you see your wife, give her my best”
He tries to change the locks on my door
I start picturing him dead on the floor
I think I’m often pretty kind
But when this man comes around, I got murder on the mind
(Murder on the Mind)
Murder on the Mind
I go downtown to the pharmacy
They say they got free flu shots for the arm, you see
But even with insurance, it costs five bucks
And with no insurance, you’re shit out of luck
I tell ‘em, “That’s pretty problematic”
And I start picturing their bodies in my attic
They say if you need cash, you better grind
Ooh, and when they say that, I tell ya
I got murder on the mind
(Murder on the Mind)
Murder on the Mind
Sometimes I think about life
And why so many people can’t do it right
Here I am at the top of my game
You’re telling me no one else is to blame?
That’s a shame
(Murder on the Mind)
You should know, I’m only kidding
I’m not gonna kill ya, stop shitting
This whole song, it’s just a joke
But if you try to run, I’m no slowpoke
I guess people have their flaws
And I don’t have to picture their bodies in my claws
But if you keep peeling me like a rind,
I might take that murder into the world
And off the mind
(Murder on the Mind)
Murder on the Mind

Cave
02:35
|
|||
I’ve been working so long, I’ve forgotten what food tastes like
when it comes from a stove
I’ve been singing a song, killing time with the crew
They’re right when they summon Jehovah
When it happens, we will all be saved
Tumbling around inside a cave
I’ve been taking a break to correct the mistake I made
when I butchered your name
I’ve been drinking a shake made from plants
and cake I ate when you finally came
Things were awkward and you were so brave
It is so dark, save me from this cave
And if I fall, they’ll never find my soul
Ancient walls keeping out the cold
I’ve been hanging around hometowns that I don’t know now
cuz they’re rusty and old
I’ve been trying new sounds, getting down with a new school crowd
turning shit into gold
When it happens, we will all be rich
Turning that old cave into a ditch
And when it falls, you will hear the sound
Crumbling walls, people gather ‘round
And when they sing, you better behave
It’s not cool to gloat about the cave

Breaking the Seal
04:00
|
|||
When the yellow brick road can’t take you home,
you better hitch a ride from a garden gnome
It’s all right here in this ancient tome:
“Hair falls out, you forget your comb”
If you wanna join the club, ur in(e)
There’s just one rule, one mortal sin:
When you have a glass of gin,
you better hold your pouch, lest your body win
Otherwise, we’ll leave you there
Cold and damp and dark and bare
Breaking the Seal
You’re stuck in there for life
Breaking the Seal
You’ll never find a wife
Breaking the Seal
We’ve trained our mortal flesh
Breaking the Seal
We’re seeing through your mesh
If you think the pain of a thousand knives
is worse than losing a thousand wives,
think again; reconsider:
“If thou can’t hang, doth find a shitter”
Our crusade will last the night
It’s not just knights one has to fight
Each of us contains two wolves:
one is brown, one yellow and bright
But if you feed the wrong chimera,
we’ll take our things and leave you there
Breaking the Seal
You’re stuck in there for life
Breaking the Seal
You’ll never find a wife
Breaking the Seal
We’ve trained our mortal flesh
Breaking the Seal
We’re seeing through your mesh
Bartholomew—
You’ve proven yourself worthy of respect
You have vanquished the mighty foe, and we’re finally safe at home
You can let your guard down, now
So release all you have to release, all you have kept in
Let it flow
Freely, Bartholomew
Freely as our gin
Breaking the Seal
You’re stuck in there for life
Breaking the Seal
You’ll never find a wife
Breaking the Seal
We’ve trained our mortal flesh
Breaking the Seal
We’re seeing through your mesh

Discount Dale

Discount Dale begging for my love
Discount Dale has a bone to pick
Discount Dale needs to sell a bed
Discount Dale keeps on getting sick
Cuz Coupon Clay and Half-Off Haley
make his coffee in a chemical tub
They take his money, it’s not funny
Discount Dale’s got an iron lung
Discount Dale, hear him cry for help
Discount Dale, 2.5 on Yelp
Discount Dale always tries his best
Discount Dale, you can take a rest
Get high on your own supply of mattresses for matricide
Covered in some plastic wrap, it’s cheap American crap
I sit and watch my father die
because he bought into your lies
Coupon Clay and Half-Off Haley:
I dare you to stare into those eyes
Discount Dale, take it from your son

Ordinary Sadness
03:22
|
|||
I thought I journeyed far and wide,
where the poets couldn’t reach
I was sure, what my soul explored,
no teacher could teach
But it’s just ordinary sadness that I feel
and nothing in this world is quite as real, uh huh
I wrote songs, singing all day long
as if I had seen it all
I could swear what they saw down there
was a shadow on a wall
And it was only I who had seen the sky
that I could not explain
Till you laughed and said,
“All the living and the dead have felt your pain
cuz it’s just ordinary sadness that you feel
and nothing in this world is quite as real, uh huh”
I would run from the pain I felt,
there was no escape
Now I stand and I stare it down in its stupid face
cuz it’s just ordinary sadness, after all
and we are all but shadows on a wall

Further Heartbreak
03:08
|
|||
To prevent further heartbreak, close your eyes
I will tell you when it’s clear
No more jump scares, no more fear
You may have lasting issues of the mind
This is normal, but call a doc
if you start to feel the shock
To prevent further heartbreak,
doc prescribed better pills, cheaper thrills
and a whole new set of eyes
You’ll be fine, you can see the world so clear
without me here
To prevent open wounds,
they recommend that old flame around the bend
Hold it close against your skin
This may cause complications of the head,
but it won’t awake the dead
Simply hold onto your sin
Doctor said I can go, now that I’m cured
better than he has ever seen before
in his ten thousand years of medicine
It went wrong, wrong again, and again
But I’m not so sure
To prevent further heartbreak, stop the car
Look around you, you are one with the Earth
and with the Sun

Long Black Hair
03:21
|
|||
There’s a long black hair circling my drain,
trying to remind of the pain
And there’s a long black hair on my toilet seat
and I bet there’s even more between my sheets
Why did you leave your DNA
right where I can see it, getting ready for my day?
Please, could you come collect your specimen?
It’s making me all sneezy
and there’s no one here to bless them
There’s a long black hair hiding on your head,
itching to escape into my bed
and when you’re not aware, it makes a daring leap
Now the rest will follow just like sheep
Why did you leave your DNA
right where I can see it, getting ready for my day?
Please, could you come collect your specimen?
It’s making me all sneezy
and there’s no one here to bless them
Everybody!
There’s a long black hair in my kitchen drawer
wondering who all these forks are for
And there’s a short blonde hair in your living den
wondering if they will meet again
Why did we leave our DNA
right where we can see it, getting ready for our day?
Please, could you come collect your specimen?
It’s making me all sneezy
and there’s no one here to bless them

Beautiful Breakup
03:26
|
|||
Get your stuff on a winter evening
Drive your car through the snow
Meet your friend in a different city
Everything must go
Laugh alone, cry with others
The light of your phone under the covers
A beautiful breakup
It’s a beautiful breakup
Beautiful breakup for me and you
Talk outside with a mask over our nose
We first met over FaceTime
In your car, there are thousand year old clothes
but I know it’s the right time
Laugh alone, cry with others
The light of your phone under the covers
A beautiful breakup
It’s a beautiful breakup
Beautiful breakup for me and you
It’s a beautiful breakup
Beautiful breakup
Beautiful breakup for me and you
Beautiful breakup…

Tarantula Mating Season
02:53
|
|||
New tonight at 8, there are an abundance of tarantulas right now on Mt. Diablo in the East Bay. Officials say it’s mating season, and they are busy.
It’s tarantula mating season
A thousand spiders looking for love
Tarantula mating season
May they be blessed by the stars above
I’ve never mated before and I’m getting scared
Everyone’s watching me and I am not prepared
No, let’s postpone it, I bemoan
Let’s just go home
Then I remember, it’s November
It doesn’t get much better than
Tarantula mating season
A thousand spiders looking for love
Tarantula mating season
May they be blessed by the stars above
I AM A GOD A KING AMONG ARACHNIDS
I DONT REALLY KNOW IF I AM QUITE READY TO HAVE KIDS
PRAISE ME SAVE ME STICK IT TO THE MAN
EVERYONE GETS LAID IN TARANTULA LAND
I’m getting older and my death is growing near
I’ve had a million kids, and that was just last year
I’m feeling beat from the sheets and the summer heat
So now, it’s your turn, are you sure?
“Yes I’m sure”
It’s tarantula mating season
A thousand spiders looking for love
Tarantula mating season
May they be blessed by the stars above
I AM A GOD A KING AMONG ARACHNIDS
I DONT REALLY KNOW IF I AM QUITE READY TO HAVE KIDS
PRAISE ME SAVE ME STICK IT TO THE MAN
EVERYONE GETS LAID IN TARANTULA LAND
Some of the females actually kill the males after mating.
Yep, it’s spider sexy time ;)
It’s the stuff science fiction movies are made of!
One time I was going down Fourth Street, and it’s, it was right in the middle of the road, just walking like a car would.
Male tarantulas live only about three to four years while the females can actually live for more than thirty years.
Because they kill the men!

Cordial Kisses
03:07
|
|||
I’m sick and tired of cordial kisses
I wanna be swept off my feet
And when I start to burn the bridges
I wanna feel the heat
I know that there’s somebody out there
with the same disease as me
They said I had to journey down
where the river meets the sea
The river meets the sea
Whatever happened to romance?
Where has it gone in the meantime?
Stare in your eyes wearing no pants
Feeling so cold in the heat light
I want to meet in the bookstore
Lean in real close, “Whatcha reading?”
Drag my shirt down to the hard floor
Kiss me so hard that I’m bleeding
(Kiss me so hard that I’m bleeding)
I’m sick and tired of cordial kisses
I wanna be swept off my feet
And when I start to burn the bridges
I wanna feel the heat
I know that there’s somebody out there
with the same disease as me
They said I had to journey down
where the river meets the sea
The river meets the sea
I get so bored in the morning
I’ve looked at ten million faces
The same old customs of courting
The same old two or three places
I wanna kiss through our facemasks
I wanna catch your variant
I wanna watch the playback
What’s love if you’re not sharing it?
(What’s love if you’re not sharing it?)
Got nothing to do, so I might as well kiss you
But every time I do, I feel so sad
I fantasize about the look inside your eyes
if you knew that I was never coming back
(I’m never coming back)
I’m sick and tired of cordial kisses
I wanna be swept off my feet
And when I start to burn the bridges
I wanna feel the heat
I know that there’s somebody out there
with the same disease as me
They said I had to journey down
where the river meets the sea
The river meets the sea

Obituary Job Post
06:53
|

Obituary job post in the paper:
A man just died and his job is free
He left two children and an office
His wife is sad and they’re hiring
He can’t work no more, no more
Apparently, he worked quite often
They put his stuff in a box by the door
and they put his body in a coffin
I apply, they want to meet me
They make sure I have a pulse
If my buttocks fills the seat,
they’ll be giving me a call
I start work for the rest of my days
And most nights, but that’s expected
I think of you and the kids we could raise
I think of the life I could’ve protected
Obituary job post on a website
Now I see it all so clear
If this is your hill to die on,
you better bring a case of beer
Now I live in your thoughts and the trees
Hanging with my predecessor
No vaccine for eternal disease
No reform for the oppressor

You'll Always Be My Baby
04:24
|
|||
Pack your things and go before we both start crying
You already know that our world is dying
Drive into the snow for a sense of closure
Everything must go after an exposure
The road ahead is long and dark
and I forgot my glasses
But if I can recall the spark,
I might just save our asses
You’ll always be my baby
Into the abyss, at least we have each other
Fumble in the dark, a foot and then another
One hand on the wall, the other on your shoulder
I can’t see at all, I guess I’m getting older
The tunnel ends and there’s the light
but we can’t go into it
I look into the mirror on the wall
and see right through it
You’ll always be my baby
I’ve never done this before
and I don’t think that I’ll ever do it again
So savor it, and even if we can’t be friends
You’ll always be my baby

Where Is Your Dog Now? Los Angeles, California
Where Is Your Dog Now? is an alt-rock music project by Andrew Haworth based in Los Angeles. He has recorded hundreds of songs since its inception. Each album is a “greatest hits” compilation of these songs, constructed in large part based on feedback given by his mother. Haworth experiments with a wide range of genres, but most of his songs end up sounding like power-pop, and that's okay. ... more
