[Verse]

I like it better when you shut your eyes

We shake you awake and then say goodbye

You thought I left but no, I’m here all night

Singing what am I doing, what am I doing

It all slides off your back and lands on mine

Bound as a sacrifice to the divine

Thought it would kill me but I’m still alive

Singing what am I doing

[Chorus]

Bow down, however you may

Know you should get going but I want you to stay

I’ll sing you the song that gets me through every day

And it goes dog sitter, we all miss her

Don’t call, I’m boarding a plane

Don’t ask where I’m going, I’ll be back in a day

To turn down your body but still care where it lays

‘Cause you’re thе dogsitter, we can’t quit her

[Verse 2]

You likе it better when you feel deprived

With eyes that can’t possibly get more wide

You got a man and yet you’re here all night

Singing what am I doing, what am I doing

It slips out of my hands and leaves its slime

So any trace that’s left is clearly mine

Follow it back to me and feign surprise

Singing what am I doing

What am I doing

[Chorus]

Sit down, I’m having a day

Was high when I got here, I’ll forget what you say

But sing me a song and from this hell I’ll be saved

‘Cause you’re the dogsitter, we all miss her

Move on, however you may

I still want your body but it’s forgetting me

Your face will escape me, oh but never the phrase

And it goes dogsitter, when can’t quit her

[Bridge]

No matter how hollow you make me feel

No matter how awful to think you’re real

No matter what you said about me then

It’s never as hopeful as I’d intend

[Chorus]

Bow down, however you may

Know you should get going but I want you to stay

I’ll sing you the song that gets me through every day

And it goes dog sitter, we all miss her

Don’t call, I’m boarding a plane

Don’t ask where I’m going, I’ll be back in a day

To turn down your body but still care where it lays

‘Cause you’re the dogsitter, we can’t quit her

[Outro]

Sit down, I’m having a day

Was high when I got here, I’ll forget what you say

But sing me a song and from this hell I’ll be saved

‘Cause you’re the dogsitter, we all miss her

Move on, however you may

I still want your body but it’s forgetting me

Your face will escape me, oh but never the phrase

And it goes dogsitter, when can’t quit her
