about

(Jess): "I had just read "10 Poems to Change Your Life" by Roger Housden and The first poem in the book is Mary Oliver's "The Journey". It starts
"One Day You Finally knew
what you had to do, and began..."

In a way this is my version of that poem."

lyrics

I've picked up on a scent
and like a dog I'll follow its trail
blindly into backyards
I wish the neighbors would
scratch behind my ears when the walk out
but they just throw the newspaper
I don't fight I run away cuz whatever smell of flower is in the find
got me slobberin down my chin oh
If i get lost I'll find my way
cuz I trust my nose will lead me somewhere good
somewhere good...
somewhere good

Bark Bark Bark Bark

Often, "scared", and "Ill prepared" are feral cats that hiss in my ear
and leave their stink of fear oh
but rarely an aroma
will wake me from the coma of my life
so I'll fetch that stick until I die

down a doomed descent I went,
sniffin for that honey
guided by my instincts
and suffering all the bee stings
down a doomed descent I went,
sniffin for that honey
guided by my instincts
and suffering all the bee stings!

HoWLLLLLLl HOWLLLLLLL!

I've returned from the dark
bitten by tabby cats
and sewer rats
I lick the blood from the bite marks
close my eyes face the sun and feel its warmth

But only for a second's rest
my nose has got me on a quest
this burning feeling in my chest
is needing me to be my best

down a doomed descent I went,
sniffin for that honey
guided by my instincts
and suffering all the bee stings
down a doomed descent I went,
sniffin for that honey
guided by my instincts
and suffering all the bee stings!down a doomed descent I went,
sniffin for that honey
guided by my instincts
and suffering all the bee stings
down a doomed descent I went,
sniffin for that honey
guided by my instincts
and suffering all the bee stings!
