van halen - dirty water dog lyrics

no candidate would i support
his platform could i endorse
another accomplice slinging dirt
campaign promises falling short
i don't belong to any race
pledge allegiance to a place
no borderline in the sand i'd trace
i'm just a sucker for a pretty face

uncomfortable in the realm of the political
position's always been a little left of cynical
i'm fundamentally for the individual
preoccupied purely with the physical

when heavy is the weight of the world
and the river runs a little too deep
like a hound dog chasing a bird
sometimes a certain tom's gotta peep
i'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
and i think i like, i think i like, i like what i see

i don't wanna find religion
or another man's opinion
i can't choose what's not my decision
when there's only one under the sun
there's no need to be denied
chew before swallowing pride
i want to live so let me die
oh by the way, what's your sign?

can't comprehend the meaning of the metaphysical
i'd rather leave that to your so-called intellectual
but what i do know i know feels only natural
i'm just a red-blooded heterosexual

when heavy is the weight of the world
and the river runs a little too deep
like a dirty water doggin' a bird
sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
i'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
and i think i like, i think i like, i like what i see

(guitar solo)

when heavy is the weight of the world
and the river runs a little too deep
like a dirty water doggin' a bird
sometimes a certain tom's he gotta peep
i'm a peek-a-boy, looking at girls
and i think i like, like a hound dog, chasin' a bird

and i think i like
a dirty water dog
and i think i like, i think i like, i like what i see
