Sender of Sorrys

My bark is the same as my bite
I have less than nothing to lose
All my worldly goods

Sender of Sorrys
Send a couple my way
And I'll send you a message

My dog doesn't mind what it licks
Keep it in place with glue
Burn it at both ends

Plan my revenge in my lair
If I can remember where it is

I'll send you a message in code
Deciphering it will take you years
Just another of those chores
For when you're safely behind locked doors

One last toss of the stick
Across the brown faded lawn
My Dog eats its own sick
My dog tried to run and died

Aaaagh

Call of the Wild

Can you hear the money bleeding off the edge of the earth?
Forming spires of the nameless church
Can you hear the shifting bricks of gold?
Push through soil under city walls

“It's the call of the wild!”

Can y'hear the flowers feeding, getting strong and high?
Between the golden pillars of paradise
Can y'hear holes in the network open and close?
Eating through fuel in the exclusive zone

“It's the call of the wild!”

Join in and feed in the wild lands
Work by the light of many hands
Synthesize food in the meat-machine
Mixed with the ashes of the greatest of dreams

“It's the call of the wild!”

Burn all ghosts on the endless road
Edit the message, forget the code
Join with the beasts of the desert sand
Feed on the kindness of the golden hand

“It's the call of the wild!”
