Jagged Dog

Let laughter kill me, let joy consume There's a mother throwing colours around the room Are you making your mind up? Or just putting it down? 'Cause I can hear a howling at the moon I'm back from Europe With a jagged dog for company I took the long way home Through the Dodeconese Oh why oh why are we waiting To see that second painting? Stop being contrite, stop scrolling doom There's a critic from The Guardian across the room Are you causing a scene here? Or just pushing it out? 'Cause I can hear a howling at the moon I'm back from Asia With a jagged dog for company I spoke in my mother tongue Beneath those cherry trees Oh why oh why are we waiting To see that second painting?
