Well Some people think I'm damaged 'cause I'm always on my own But just because the lights are out don't mean you're not at home And they say when you're psychotic that you never walk alone I'm just a three-legged dog on the roam
And everybody thinks that I'm unfriendly just because I can't recall their names But all the faces and the places just begin look the same You haven't got the kind of time it takes to play those kinds of games When you're a three-legged dog on the roam
No I may not be good-looking, but I'm a killer in the dark And girl you know my bite is so much better than my bark So if you need a friend tonight, why don't you come find me in the park I'm a three-legged dog on the roam
Y'know my father thinks I'm lazy 'cause I ain't got no career And my mother thinks I'm crazy, and my sister thinks I'm queer Ah, but if you think it's easy, man, you just got no idea I'm a three-legged dog on the roam
Yeah I've been down so long that coming up is giving me the bends And I'm so goddamn lonesome, I count enemies as friends And every day I chase my tail and wonder when it's gonna end For this three-legged dog on the roam
Yeah I'm still looking for that something, gonna make my life complete Can't afford to be too picky when you're living on the street But sometimes if I'm a good boy, they'll throw me a piece of meat I'm just a three-legged dog on the roam
