originally appeared on the Commanche Moon album, also a live recording, but this version here is much different; beautiful, gentle, melodic, great poetry
Better think fast. Better beware
Keep your eyes open. Better take care
Strong concentration. Deep meditation
True dedication. You get a bad reputation
Chorus:
Call off the dogs. Leave me alone
Sign it in blood and carve it in stone
Lonely and hungry. Desperate and mad
Tired and wounded. Angry and sad
Looking for beauty. Blind to what’s good
Always the guilty, misunderstood
Chorus
Passive persuasion, sexual lust
Constant frustration, constant disgust
Lightness of being. Free from the stress
Sometimes you know and sometimes you guess
