lyrics

A Man & His Dog

I’m ready to go to space
Go up there and find a place
Settle down take out a loan
Get a dog and build a home

I told them to come with me
They just thought I was crazy
Didn’t heed the call of the rising seas
Now it’s too late to leave

Cos’ the world is burning down
But I’m not gonna stick around
I’m gonna get out while I can
Gonna grow old like my old man

And from my garden out in space
I’ll sing hymns for the human race
And though my pup is almost grown
Apart from him I’m all alone

Cos’ everyone else has died
They thought they could save it
But they fried

What if we had only listened
To rhythms thrown out of kilter?

Something might have been done

So it’s just me and my dog called Goat
He can’t quite see the joke
But we’ll be fine if you give us time
Man’s best friend and the last man alive.
