In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep
Dream about them folks that are still missing me
In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep
Dream about them folks that are still missing me

I’m gonna set a tent up in the yard
‘Cause the “Sheetrock” comes down way too far
One, two, three, four, eight more pups
I’d like to stick around to see ’em all grow up
I want to live near where the trees are tall
But sometimes I still need to shop and all
Oh, I wake up and my breath tastes sour
Oh, a couple more days, I’ll probably take a shower
Oh, I’d like to make sense, but just cannot do
I roll on my back to put on my shoe

I can go to heaven, then I’ll wake up
Say I wish I’d done a bunch of other stuff
I can go to heaven as I fall asleep
Hope that people miss me and they weep and weep
I can go to heaven as I fall asleep
Hope that people miss me and they weep and weep

In my dog bed in heaven, whimper in my sleep
Dream about them folks that are still missing me
Dream about them folks that are still missing me
Dream about them folks that are still missing me

I like to speak in soft, stiff peaks
Rubber tips on every one of my teeth
A cause needs a skeleton to walk around
We only gave ours a name

We’re not your pets, hell, we’re not even tame
Just some cats coming in from the rain
Sure, you’re in the room, but let me explain
You were not the choice

If we gave it a skeleton, it could walk around
If we gave it a skeleton, it could walk around
Just give it a skeleton, so let it walk around
Not just a name

Every day starts out like it’s going to break
Any word can flatten the soufflé
Well, things get gnarly, then they drift back to sane
Yeah, things get gnarly, then they drift back to sane
It’s not a science or a founded claim
It is just a hope

Well, just give it a skeleton, and it’ll walk around
Just give it a skeleton, and let it walk around
Just give it a skeleton, and let it walk around
