Mongrels

Whatever happened to this it was an island of bliss in this ridiculous place But now the river runs black and I don't know the way back I feel it going to waste

We are the mongrels underneath the table fighting for the leavings tearing us to shreds We are the mongrels tearing up the floorboards unaware of the banquet up above our heads

I reach across the divide I want to take you inside but something's holding me bound There is a thorn in my side that's coming on like a tide these tender feelings do drown

We are the mongrels underneath the table fighting for the leavings tearing us to shreds We are the mongrels tearing up the floorboards unaware of the banquet up above our heads

This is a chance for the prize it's waiting here in my eyes you hardly look at me now With every beat of my heart I want to make a new start but I don't seem to know how

We are the mongrels underneath the table fighting for the leavings tearing us to shreds We are the mongrels rolling on the floorboards unaware of the banquet up above our heads
