WHEN I LOOK , I don't see what it is and never what it was I was lookin for; but I can tell ya all, I do hear them... I hear them

I hear them howlin... yowl

I hear them howl

They're out there

every one

Doin what they think they fit.

Every man he got to be a dog

and every woman is a bitch.

...can't find nothin else out there

can't get nothin else. gotta look... gotta look.

They out there everyone

every one they pitchin fits.

The young one's out to bury bones

and the old ones got to get a jones-

They, every one, is out there

I hear them howlin yowl

I hear them howl.

They every one.... They out there

doin what the think they with

Every woman got to be one, if its her mind-

or if it's his...

but sooner or later, she fits the bit.

Every woman out there

bound to be a bitch.

They out there howlin

him and her- the every one

Dogs are out there -if you see a man

please show me one.

I look up to see the rain...

I look up to see the pain

I look up for one more...

and I see

I see you...

seeing me.
