Barking at the Fence

Verse 1

Midnight

Streetlights flicker out

Paws tucked inside of plastic leather

He sniffs the wind

Wet nose

Heavy fur under the silk

Yellow eyes behind a mask of felt

A growl

He slips between the iron bars

Tail is stiff and long

Chorus

He’s a dogman in a catsuit

Dogman in a catsuit

Howling at the moon through a feline face

Dogman in a catsuit

Dogman in a catsuit

Barking like a stray in a velvet chase

Post-Chorus

Meow meow

Woof woof

Meow meow

Woof woof

Verse 2

Garbage cans

Tipped over by a heavy hand

The claws are fake but the teeth are real

Licking bone

Big paws

Tripping on the gutter pipes

Hiding from the golden retriever pack

Lonesome

Lurking where the alley ends

Tongue hangs out

Chorus

He’s a dogman in a catsuit

Dogman in a catsuit

Howling at the moon through a feline face

Dogman in a catsuit

Dogman in a catsuit

Barking like a stray in a velvet chase

Post-Chorus

Meow meow

Woof woof

Meow meow

Woof woof

Guitar Solo

Bridge

He wants to purr

He wants to hunt

He wants to run

Stitched up seams

Ripping at the shoulder blades

Too big for the costume he made

Too wild for the house cat parade

Chorus

He’s a dogman in a catsuit

Dogman in a catsuit

Howling at the moon through a feline face

Dogman in a catsuit

Dogman in a catsuit

Barking like a stray in a velvet chase

Outro

Bad dog

Good kitty

Bad dog

Good kitty

Run away

Run away

Hide the fur

Hide the fur

Meow meow

Woof
