Dog At The Door

Aesop Rock

10

Huh? Who′s there?

Dog at the front door barking at the air

Wind all "whsshsh" in the treesThen, "chk-chk-chk-chk," feet on leaves

Uh, it's probably a cat

Might be a guy with an ax

Might be a trap, shit, it′s probably a trap

Might be a possum in the trash

It's probably a trap

"Ayy, keep it moving," God, I sound stupid

Good chance I'm not even talking to a human

Then again it′s probably a trap, somebody had to set it

Depending on the type, maybe several

Yeah, that′s it, it's probably several, several come together

To make what would′ve taken one forever

I'm thinking it′s a pretty damn sophisticated trap

Utilizing some technology I didn't know we had

Hmm, maybe I am entirely tripping

It might′ve been the neighbor's kid, but I have my suspicions

I wish it were as simple as a critter, but it isn't

I feel that it′s important we consider all dimensions

Like, oh, I don′t know, maybe it's a trap

I step onto the lawn, y′all jump out with the bag

I wake up in some alley on a wholly other plane

Can't remember who I am or how to get back to the base

I realize you people think that I am off the deep end

I′ll say that it's a lovely night regardless of the BS

It is, a perfect snow is freckling the path

It′s almost like the atmosphere is begging for a trap

The mutt goes quiet, one last sniff, lopes inside

Fine, it might've been a baby squirrel who tumbled from the nest

It's probably just you motherfuckers missed
