I left the front door open The cat escaped without it's collar (All the things I've done) My friends won't hear him coming Oh, to be born with fangs and an understanding That death is a gift we give ourselves That death is a gift we give ourselves Turned pale from the nicotine The body sways from the beer poured generously White knuckles knock my front door I feel like a stranger The lights on in the kitchen Tea is made and pills are taken I check the clock that's always broken My pulse, no longer racing I shut my eyes and bend the knee Laces tied And the dog sighs I'm not leaving yet Laces tied And the dog sighs I'm not leaving yet (I'm not leaving yet) (I'm not leaving yet) I'm not leaving yet (I'm not leaving yet) (I'm not leaving yet) I'm not leaving yet (I'm not leaving yet) (I'm not leaving yet) I'm not leaving yet (I'm not leaving yet) (I'm not leaving yet) I'm not leaving yet (I'm not leaving yet) (I'm not leaving yet) With my laces tied (All the things I've done) And the dog sighs I'm not leaving yet With my laces tied And the dog sighs I'm not leaving yet
