In the night there's a dog howling far far away

I think that he's wild but he could be a stray

And he looks just like you

Howls like you too

I wish I could make him stay

But he won't come to my calls

And he won't take my bait

So I shook a can hard just to scare him away

The earth it shakes

The mind it makes

A bird can fly

With planes in the sky

Do you see me up there

I see you everywhere

But let's say we're strangers

In my heart there's a mark and a sigh takes its place

If I were a man my hips wouldn't sway

We could call ourselves friends

What an easier end

But I'm a woman and I ain't gonna change

You held your breath and I said you can't stay

So I shook a can hard just to scare you away
