Dogbird Madds Buckley

[Verse 1]
Sorry that I'm scared of thunder like a dog
I know that you love rain
But I cry when something shakes the walls
Tail between my legs
I scratch while you relax
Ruffling feathers watching storm clouds pass
Hoping I'll make you hate the thunder too
Digging in my claws to make you hate me too

[Chorus]
I can't stand you in my bed
You're too gentle
I need you to hurt me back instead
I wish I could take you back to California
Where you'd never heard of creatures like me
Little bird won't you fly away
Little bird won't you fly away

[Verse 2]
And sorry that I roll over to my folks
It's not that I'm ashamed
But they keep me on the leash to choke
I'm a hunting breed
And bird is all they eat
If they sniff you out, they gnash their teeth
I'm a coward scared of living outside
Even if it means I crush you at my side
