mongrels
Whatever happened to this? It was an island of bliss In this ridiculous place But now the river runs black And I don't know the way back I feel it goin' to waste We are the mongrels Underneath the table Fightin' for the leavings Tearin' them to shreds We are the mongrels Rollin' on the floorboards Unaware of the banquet Up above our heads I reach across the divide I wanna take you inside But something's holding me down There is a thorn in my side It's coming on like a tide These tender feelings to drown This is a chance for the prize It's waiting here in my eyes You hardly look at me now With every beat of my heart I want to make a new start But I don't seem to know how We are the mongrels
