Sob Dog - The Narrative

Choked a locomotive back in the black-and-white days
Channeled flannel wearing men to jack a sack of rain
You can tell a tall tale by the way that it's explained
Are the stories contrived?
Or is it boring and restrained?

Well tell me mama
Does the narrative live beyond me
Tell me mama
What should my response be

Gamblers ramble on about the day they'll strike it rich
Drink their self esteem from dreams
The bottom the ditch
Losing's tough they say
Though it gets rough
It don't get worse
But when it's time to roll all their fortunes will reverse

Well tell me mama
Does the narrative live beyond me
Tell me mama
What should my response be

Can you tell me a story if I ask?
Do you assume or do you remove the mask?

Caterpillar feels that there's a fate within his actions
Cocooning soon is his destiny and that is the attraction
But he believes that he's gonna come out as a butterfly
But there could be no story here
No reason why he couldn't die

Tell me mama
Does the narrative live beyond me
Tell me mama
What should my response be

Can you tell me a story if I ask?
Do you assume or remove the mask?
Can you tell me a story if I ask?
Do you assume or remove the mask?
