Yoko Ono - Dogtown

DOGTOWN

The town's dawning, I'm the only one awake
The streets are whistling, I light my fourth cigarette
I think of my friends, they were once not so dead
What are they thinking now

One day, I'll be just a little stone
Nobody'll know that the stone had such emotions
Anyway, I'm always on the run
Someday, I'll be remembered for
The phone calls I never made
Letters I never mailed
And stories I never finished telling anyone

The town's yawning, I let my dog walk me around
He took a shot and people smiled
I tried the same and people frowned
Yes, it's a dog, dog town

One day, let's be a pair of trees
Nobody'll know that trees had such a history
Anyway, we'd never be this lonely
Someday I'll be remembered for
The fine words I meant to keep
A warm smile I meant to leave
And a true song I meant to finish writing all my life

Yes, it's a dogtown
It's a dogtown
Yes, it's a dogtown
It's a dogtown
Dog, dog, dog, dog
Dog, dog, dog, dog
Dogtown

Peas porridge stuck
Peas porridge boiled
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old
Some gets laid
Some gets paid
Some stays in the pot nine years cold

Yes, it's a dogtown
It's a dogtown
Yes, it's a dogtown
It's a dogtown
Dog, dog, dog, dog
Dog, dog, dog, dog
Dogtown

Peas porridge stuck
Peas porridge boiled
Peas porridge in the pot nine years old
Some gets grades
Some gets slayed
Some stays in the pot nine years old

Yes, it's a dogtown
Yes, it's a dogtown

From the Yoko Ono album 'Approximately Infinite Universe'.

Approximately Infinite Universe is a double album by Yoko Ono, released in early 1973. It represents a departure from the experimental avant-garde rock of her first two albums towards a more conventional pop/rock sound, while also dabbling in feminist rock.

The 1997 CD re-issue on Rykodisc added two acoustic demos of songs from this era that were later released on 1981's Season of Glass.
