"The Dogs" lyrics - T BONE BURNETT

Somewhere between the lots of Bel Air and the courts of clay
Is the place where the whales failed
Hidden so far back in the ruins where the heathens prayed
Let's take the yacht out for good
Hollow wood

I never met a French girl outside of France
I never tasted foreign love
I never had a chance
With the finance and romance
Romance and finance

Somewhere down near the river's crest
The Coyote's strike
Ah, the forbidden women
So there will be no love bought and sold tonight
Muleskinners

I never met a French girl outside of France
I never tasted foreign love
I never had a chance
With the finance and romance
Hot pants and a fat chance

His holiness on his way out west gave me a start
He snuck off while I was breathing
And dropped a rusty bucket down my well last night
Just going through a phase
Tres amazed

I never had a French girl outside of France
I never tasted foreign love
I never had a chance

The finance and romance
Romance and finance
