Only Frozen Sky Anyway

Lyrics

Well, well I've met the dog star
Ever since that time
I've wanted her to not stray far
Because I've wanted to be with her
I've wanted to be with her

Oh my dog star
Don't stray far
Since that night in the car
I want to be near you

Oh, Dogstar, don't stray far
Since that day in the dark, I wanna be near you, yeah

Dogstar, Dogstar, that's right, the Dogstar is my pole star
Dogstar, Dogstar, that's right, the Dogstar is my pole star

dogstar, don't leave me
Not in this world, nor the next
Not in this world, nor the next

dogstar star, don't leave me
Not in this world, nor the next
Not in this world, nor the next

Oh, dogstar, dogstar, that's right
dogstar is my pole star
dogstar, dogstar, that's right
The dogstar is my pole star

Fact, when she talks in a certain way
I pay attention to the things she say
And when it comes time for a crucial choice
Something ancient invades her voice
And when her voice takes a certain tone
She's on that internal telephone
That doesn't mean that she's always right
In fact she's wrong every time we fight

Oh my dogstar
Don't leave me
Not in this world nor the next
Not in this world nor the next

Oh my dogstar
Don't leave me
Not in this world, nor the next
Not in this world, nor the next

dogstar dogstar that's right
Dogstar is my pole star
dogstar dogstar that's right
Dogstar is my pole star
dogstar dogstar that's right
Dogstar is my pole star
dogstar dogstar that's right
Dogstar is my pole star

Lyrics

[Well, when I first met the Dog Star
I didn't want her to go very far
Because I knew that I would have never met anyone quite like her before
I didn't know how it was going to turn out but
When I first met her, I wanted to see what would happen next]

Well, my Dog Star
Don't stray far
Since that night in the car
I wanna be near you

Oh dog star
Don't stray far
Since that day in the dark
I wanna be near you

Oh, dog star, dog star, that's right
Dog star, dog star, that's right
Dog star, dog star, that's right
Dog star, that's right

My pole star, oh my dog star
Don't leave me
Not in this world nor the next
Not in this world, nor the next

my dog star, don't leave me
Not in this world, nor the next
Not in this world, nor the next

dog star, dog star that's right
Dog star, dog star, that's right
Dog star, dog star, that's right
Dog star, that's right

When she talks in a certain voice
When I have to make a crucial choice
When she talks in a certain way
I best pay attention to the things she says
That doesn't mean that she's always right
In fact, she's wrong anytime we fight, oh my God

[That was a joke, see, don't believe me
That was a funny joke, ha ha]

in this world or the next

[Let's see what Tom is doing there on the drums]

When she talks in a certain tone
She's on that internal telephone
When I have a crucial choice
And she talks in a certain voice
When she talks in a certain way
[Let's take this two clicks faster]
When she talks in a certain voice
Then I know I can make my crucial choice
And when she talks in such a way
I better pay attention to the things she says
And when she talks this way, oh

oh my dog star, don't leave me
Not in this world, nor the next
Not in this world
