Throw The God A Bone - Tony Levin

My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god

My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god

I think that she suspects I am not perfect

But we both know she doesn’t really care

Cause she believes her food appears by magic

and she notices that I’m the one who’s there

My dog Lilly… My dog Lilly

My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god

My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god

I took her to our local doggie school

and she quickly mastered every trick they had

but once we got home she’d break every rule

look up at me, and feel real bad

Throw the god a bone

If you can reach him on his cell phone

Cut that god some slack

if you expect to ever have him call you back

Give that dude a break

before you tell him that he’s made some big mistake

And you do not have to feel so all alone

Everybody sometimes has to wind it up and

throw that god a bone

My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god

Say, every dog thinks that we all are gods

They can see we all know how to drive a car

And we’ve just about built condos on the moon

That we might create life’s not so bizarre

if not already it may happen soon

Being a god’s not always great

and gods have come and gone before

There are some godly fundamentals

Up on Mt. Olympus you can’t buy

it’s only rentals

My dog Lilly thinks that I am a god

Every dog thinks that we all are gods

And if one day we create some new species

then we’ll be quick to teach them how to pray

but you can be sure they will test their leashes

and do just what they want to anyway

Throw the god a bone

If you can reach him on his cell phone

Cut that god some slack

if you expect to ever have him call you back

Give that dude a break

before you tell him that he’s made some big mistake

And you do not have to feel so all alone

Everybody sometimes has to wind it up and throw the god a bone

If you can reach her on her cell phone

Cut that god some slack

if you expect to ever have her call you back

Give that babe a break

before you tell her that she’s made some kind of

great big huge mistake

And you do not have to feel so all alone

Everybody sometimes has to wind it up and

throw that god a bone
