Animal Shelter

Music: A. Belov
Words: N. Shneider & A. Johannes

Verse 1:

One of this days, I’m gonna like a dream…
Chasing your ghost, patting my head like a scream…
Locking me up — taking me out — turning a friend into dust
Why give me bread, when all your touch ends up dead…

When did I choose? How did I lose? set me free…
Give me a break, my only mistake was to be…
Without a tag, stuffed in a bag, stolen away from my nature
If I’m the best, how do you treat all the rest

Chorus:

Shelter me, Shelter me, Shelter me

Shelter me, Shelter me, Shelter me
Like a dog, Like a dog, Like a dog

Verse 2:

Maybe you see, some other uses for me…
Lab in a Lab, I’d rather bark up a tree…
Don’t wanna stay, why should I play?
Don’t wanna wait by the door
Give me the ball
And I just roll over and die…

(organ solo)

One of this days, I’m gonna like a dream…
