Dog Days

I'm still a kid at heart but life been getting hard The world wants to change me that's why I live in art I've got a giving heart but it's a hidden part Behind my skin that guards so that dog don't give a bark These long days, dog days, used to be a better time Before the world got swirled into my mental mind De-energized by the flies on my face And the sweat of regret that lies on my brain Older Cats used to lay around and they'd do nothing As a little kid, riddled with why they were grumpy Cause summer time was the funnest time, they had a cluttered mind Rapid heating and cooling will always bring the thunderous whine And wine gets finer when it's aging through time But a whiner gets bitter when it stuck on the vine So why try to block the sun's vitamin D lips Blocking it's kiss like the light of an eclipse Long days, dog days, cats with a long face Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place Long days, dog days, cats with a long face Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place Sipping sun tea and Kool-aid on the rocks Chasing ice cream man all the way down the block I was slurping on some applesauce, dreaming of a Macintosh Old folks tired like a cat that likes to nap a lot But I understand them old cats now Society's always trying to bring you back down Working hard for the hunt, but what does a cat chase A little mouse, a new house that's found in the rat race My frog pace now turned into a turtle walk Getting swamped and my brain like an internal bog Frustrated feeling between freedom and finances Living on a log trying to leap when a fly dances Long days, dog days, cats with a long face Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place Long days, dog days, cats with a long face Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place Got a little girl born into a big world Little hands but she's holding up a big pearl Yes sir she's a treasure That makes you feel love that can't be measured Need to bring out my inner kid again So I'm not an old cat and her thoughts ain't riddled with Why do all the grownups not have fun When the happiest memories are made in the sun Long days, dog days, cats with a long face Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place Long days, dog days, cats with a long face Used to leap with joy and I jumped at a frog's pace Now my lilly pad is really sad, feel like it's gone away But its floating in my soul, my mind in the wrong place
