Текст песни Gorky Park - Animal Shelter

ANIMAL SHELTER

One of these days, I'm gonna fade like a dream
Chasing your ghost, patting my head like a scream
Locking me up - taking me out - turning a friend into dust
Why give me bread, when all you touch ends up dead...

When did I choose? How did I lose? Set me free!
Give me a break, my only mistake was to be
Without a tag, stuffed in a bag, stolen away from my nature
If I'm the best, how do you treat all the rest?

Shelter me! Shelter me! Shelter me!
Shelter me! Shelter me! Shelter me!
Like a dog! Like a dog! Like a dog!

Maybe you see, some other uses for me
Lab in a lab, I'd rather bark up a tree
Don't wanna stay, why should I play?
Don't wanna wait by the door
Give me the ball
And I just roll over and die...
