The Crane Wives
Mad Dog
[Verse 1]
Face it, love
You're gonna drag that rock around the rest of your life
You’re dancing on the edge of a knife
Hoping someone else will let it slide
I've been drinking the bottle
Didn't know the ship is gonna sink
But I keep reaching for the shore
Never seems to get any closer

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's gonna keep the lights on?
Who's gonna make it rain?
Always looking for the next big ticket
Always tryna stretch it one more day
Who's gonna keep you happy?
Who's gonna keep you sane?
Calling out to an echo and
Just hoping for a different refrain

[Chorus]
Like a mad dog after a rabbit
I keep on running, running, running
I don't feel like it gets me anywhere
You know the kickback is automatic
And it keeps on coming, coming, coming
Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there
[Verse 2]
Face it, love
You're gonna carry that rock around the rest of your life
You’re dancing on the edge of a knife
Hoping someone else will let it slide
I've been knockin' on bottles
Stuck on the tracks and losing my way home
Keep looking for the end of the tunnel
Never seems to get any closer

[Pre-Chorus]
Who's gonna keep the lights on?
Who's gonna make it rain?
Always looking for the next big ticket
Always tryna stretch it one more day
Who's gonna make you happy?
Who's gonna keep you sane?
Calling out to an echo and
Just hoping for a different refrain

[Chorus]
Like a mad dog after a rabbit
I keep on running, running, running
I don't feel like it gets me anywhere
You know the kickback is automatic
And it keeps on coming, coming, coming
Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there
Like a mad dog after a rabbit
I keep on running, running, running
I don't feel like it gets me anywhere
You know the kickback is automatic
And it keeps on coming, coming, coming
Knocking me down to the bottom and keeping me there
