I'm a great example to the dogs

I grease the wheels and move the cogs

And I'm a friend to you more than you'll need me

I've walked a world I've took it in

I'm the eclectic bag of sin

And I don't need to pray I'm built for better days

I'm the one that took the meanness from the mean

The one that made the moment and the one who will believe

And I was there when everybody left your side

I'm a bad example to the cats

They run around with all the rats

And I reject their style and I resent their smiles

They've got it all but they take more

And every maiden makes a score

And so I chase my tail

Who wins

Who cares

I'm the one that took the meanness from the mean

The one that made the moment and the one who will believe

And I was there when everybody left your side

In the end you nearly killed me with a smile

And you would never speak again

And I was out of time

And I was was crying just before you shut the door

'Cause love was all I'd known
