The Posters - The Dog Lyrics

We don't talk about the dog
Found him sucking eggs and killing chickens
Digging trenches in the yard

Snuffed him stuffed him in a duffel bag
A shallow grave to easily ignore behind the house
A dirty hole to cover up
In the morning he was gone
We don't talk about the dog

We don't talk about the dog
Hear him howling out beyond the light
A ragged silhouette a shadow

We packed the bags that night
And vainly hoped he wouldn't follow
Though we heard his dying song
We never stay ahead for long
We dont talk about the dog

We dont talk about the dog
Watch the color drain away to pale
The paint is peeling from the houses

All the neighbors lock their doors and black their windows
Cancel invitations like they worry it's contagious
And alone we hold his shame
We dont talk about the dog
