Sleater-Kinney - The Dog / The Body Lyrics

I'm just the dog, I'm just the body tonight
I'm just the fist, without the will to fight

And when the shadow comes, I'll have a place to go and hide
You always said my head was what I never leave behind

I'm just a sketch, I'm just an outline tonight
I am the dog, I am the body, alright

Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Can't keep saying the same old lines
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Gonna go and be alone
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Can't see my way out of this night
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
If you go, I'll be alone

I'm just a prop, I'm just a puppet tonight
I'm just the trick without the magic alright

And when the darkness comes and I don't have the nerve, the might
I'll invite myself into an alpine light, goodnight

Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Can't keep saying the same old lines
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Gonna go and be alone
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Can't see my way out of this night
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
If you go, I'll be alone

If you want to go
Can't find a reason not to leave
If you feel unknown
Can't find your name on the dream
Nothing feels like home
Can't find the one to hold

Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Can't keep saying the same old lines
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Gonna go and be alone
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
Can't see my way out of this night
Baby, baby, baby
I don't mind
If you go, I'll be alone

Baby, baby
I don't mind
I'm tired of saying the same old lines
Baby, baby
I don't mind
If you go I'll be alone

Don't mind

I am the dog, I am the body, tonight
If you hear me howl, know I made it out, alive
