I had a girlfriend Made me scared of the world I'd sit and watch the TV Terrified of the soap opera I was trying to sing to you But you were scared The Dead dog laughing in the cloud I just wanted to walk with you But you were tired The Dead dog laughing in the cloud I just wanted to be with you But you were gone The Dead dog laughing in the cloud I thought you might help me get to heaven But you were thinking of him The dead dog laughing in the cloud The dead dog laughing in the cloud
