Stray Dog lyrics

The secret of our happiness is unconditional love

I just wanted to make her smile

And make it last for a while

Do all the things you can do at home

Maybe once in a while get away somewhere special

Create a memory that would last forever

In those days we spent together

They say the secret of our happiness is unconditional love

And brotherhood and trying to be good and trying not to drink

But I can't stop drinking, it's in my blood

In and out of trouble, while keeping yourself alive

Not giving cold down in the wastes of the grim and mire

In the dark and the sun of the mire

Not getting wasted, not being a cheat, a killer or a liar

Not getting pulled down in the wastes of the mire

In the darkness of the mire, in the darkness of the mire

I'd rather be a lover than a liar

I'd rather be a lover than a supplier

If the secret of happiness is unconditional love

Why don't you miss me?

Well, sometimes I do, like when you're away

And I feel a need for you

I feel it like the day we met all those years ago

Those times were hard to hold on to

But nothing stays the same

We are forever moving, like the dancing of the flame

Life is so unstable, always changing, it never stays the same

Like the atom and that bomb that causes so much pain

So I came in from the cold with nowhere left to go

And I gave away my freedom and the calling of the wild

So that I could be with you, I chose to be with you

So I came in from the cold and I chose to be with you

I chose

To be (growls)

With you

(Growls, hisses, snarls)

Chose to be with you
