Lyrics
I'm a dog, I'm a dog.
black and white and bones,
I wait, inside our home.
I'm in love, I'm in love
with a statue down in Rome,
and my kaleidoscope.
I bleed apart.
Torment in the colorful rain.
Diamonds, oh diamonds,
I don't mind getting old for you, babe.
Ring the bell, who can tell?
The pigeons on the church, they know
how much it hurts
to see Madonna walk away,
silk dress to the wind,
sail off to Bethlehem.
She had a certain way,
smoking on her pipe,
shooting arrows through the gamblers at play.
She bought me out,
She won the game,
Old dog swimming in champagne.
Take me out after dark,
so the strays out on the street
can watch the princess eat.
And when she's satisfied I know
My fur is gold,
And I'm ascending heaven.
