Lyrics & Translation
English
I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before
I can swing my megaphone
And long arm the rest
It's easier and better
To just beat it from the chest
Of desire
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone, so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of
The wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this
Here I am, here I am
In your life
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful life
Your life

I am not the type of dog
That could keep you waiting
For no good reason
Run a carbon-black test on my jaw
And you will find it's all been said before
I can swing my megaphone
And long arm the rest
It's easier and better
To just beat it from the chest
Of desire
I could walk into this room
And the waves of conversation are enough
To knock you down in the undertow
So alone, so alone in my life
Feed me banks of light
And hang your hairshirt on the lowest rung
It's a beautiful life
And I can hang my hairshirt
Away up high in the attic of
The wrong dog's life chest
Or bury it at sea
All my life I've searched for this
Here I am, here I am
In your life
It's a beautiful life
My life
It's a beautiful life

No soy el tipo de perro
Que podría hacerte esperar
Sin una buena razón
Haz una prueba de negro de humo en mi mandíbula
Y encontrarás que todo se ha dicho antes
Puedo blandir mi megáfono
Y dominar al resto
Es más fácil y mejor
Simplemente sacarlo del pecho
Del deseo
Podría entrar en esta habitación
Y las olas de conversación son suficientes
Para derribarte en la resaca
Tan solo, tan solo en mi vida
Aliméntame bancos de luz
Y cuelga tu cilicio en el peldaño más bajo
Es una vida hermosa
Y puedo colgar mi cilicio
Bien arriba en el ático de
El cofre de vida del perro equivocado
O enterrarlo en el mar
Toda mi vida he buscado esto
Aquí estoy, aquí estoy
En tu vida
Es una vida hermosa
Mi vida
Es una vida hermosa
Tu vida
