Dillinger Escape Plan, The - When Good Dogs Do Bad Things Lyrics






I'm the best you'll ever have
You're the best I'll never have

Pain...
Gone.
Rain...
Stop.
Sun...
Shine.
You're...
Mine.

Here kitty kitty kitty

MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY

Listen:
listen through the walls
the sound of quick footsteps sneaking down the hall
whispers
the pages turning
the leaky roof
the toilet flushing
numbers on the license plate

I'm nothing more than
The best you'll never have
A speck on your bedroom wall
A blood red waterfall

THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE

Your dead things are locked up inside
Blow smoke rings straight back in time
Roses floating out with the tide
Dance and sing under gunfire
Open wings slowly take flight...

Around these parts a fly can live
A fly can live a thousand years
but a man cannot die soon enough, true enough

A smiling drunk nursing a glass of milk
A girl with a face like prison bread
Over the kitchen noise I hear them howl at me

A scabby ketchup bottle and a two-dollar bill
I guess its time to pay the bill, but you know I never will
I'm hungry still...

RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY RUN AWAY

Mercy killing on the way
Never thought I'd hear you say
Falling to your knees and pray now...

In this crowded place I could swing a cat
And not even hit a soul...
It's just the lonely vacuum of human black holes

And I'm as dry as these thirsty trees
with big city thoughts in the dirty breeze...
promising to set me free
"waiter, check please..."

I'M THE BEST YOU WILL EVER HAVE

Dillinger Escape Plan, The When Good Dogs Do Bad Things Comments
  1. g.... ....

    A long time ago when this album was brand new I was listening to it in my Cavalier Z24 with a girl I was dating at the time when she looks over to me and says to me "your CD is skipping"... It was a cassette😂

  2. L.... S....

    I wish the middle section continued forever.

  3. t.... a....

    Alternate title: Misplaced loyalty

  4. R.... G....

    Dillinger+Patton= orgasm

  5. d.... G....

    Is that weird noise around 0:36 a really distorted guitar or Mike shaking his head violently and making whining noises

    d.... G....

    Is him quickly saying "here kitty kitty kitty" over and over again. Yeah, probably while shaking his head lol

  6. D.... A....

    For whatever reason, it's region locked on iTunes and I can't listen to it unless I change country and renew my plan :(

  7. M.... S....

    This song is too good to be true, Mike is completely insane yet smooth

  8. C.... ....

    If there was a song that would define my life, it would be this song. I would like it to be played at my funeral.

  9. A.... Y....

    The best band still to date. Never practice lolol

  10. s.... ....

    this is half Jazz music, listen

    s.... ....

    steve If the style adjusted, as well as the intensity, this could be a jazz song.

  11. D.... T....

    I don't know what this album cover is supposed to be, honestly.

  12. M.... W....

    I can't believe I'm only just now hearing this, this is fucking awesome

  13. �.... �....

    Fucking perfect!!!

  14. A.... D....

    Great song all round but the second section of this song is just TRUE. TRUE to the bone.

  15. J.... N....

    This song could’ve dropped today, 16 years later, and it would still be groundbreaking.

  16. �.... ....

    Fucking chills. Even this year

  17. T.... E....

    Mike is a legend

  18. M.... K....

    Waiter, cheque please.

  19. E.... E....

    like the part at 3:36

  20. B.... M....

    Masterpiece *2

  21. A.... ....

    <3 Absolutely brilliant <3

  22. J.... ....

    Holy Shit! This is one of most unique songs I've ever heard. The Dillinger's mastery in musical craft and Mr. Patton vocals are perfect combo. "Here Kitty" part is fucking crazy. It's like one hundred persons talking in one time or army of ants moving all the time. Plus second part of song is really beautiful. Great Track.

  23. v.... ....

    The way they mixed the vocals is fucking amazing!!!!

  24. N.... T....

    i love this and if you do too listen to "mammal sauce" from crotchduster

    N.... T....

    Nayr Tnartsipac Thank you Coverkillernation for turning me onto that gem.

  25. N.... ....

    Those screams!

  26. S.... ....

    i wish they did a full album with Mike

    S.... ....

    Yeap, they did. It's short EP, all with Mike.

    S.... ....

    @Роман Зайруллин reading is hard

    S.... ....

    @Brian Hale an EP is technically a "full album". But, yeah he obviously means an LP

  27. A.... D....

    Always knew of this song....for like 10 years now since I've liked Dillinger.....why's it taken this long!!??? xx

  28. E.... L....

    Mike's vocals went so well with this band, same with Greg. They sound so similar

    E.... L....

    Anyway it has no comparison. Mike Patton's voice is much more versatile and surreal compared to Greg's.

    E.... L....

    Never the same for me after Dimitri... Although DEP with Patton was dope.

  29. B.... ....

    Masterpiece

  30. R.... ....

    Fucking great album.. they put a lot of work into this. Just the timing involved is Fucking unreal...

  31. N.... M....

    Lonely vacuum of
    human black holes.

  32. m.... j....

    grrrr
    Grrrrrrrrr
