[00:46.02]You ever had a day like I had today,
[00:49.31]When things are stacked up bad?
[00:53.05]You look around and every face you see
[00:56.64]Seems guaranteed to send you mad.
[01:00.38]And you peer into those hallowed institutions.
[01:04.05]And they bark at you from every side.
[01:07.30]But the bite goes wide.
[01:11.83]I see them running with their tails hanging low
[01:14.89]Like dogs in the midwinter.
[01:18.93]The prophets and the wise men and the hard politicos
[01:22.28]Are all dogs in the midwinter.
[01:26.35]Let the breath from the mountain still the pain,
[01:30.03]Clear water from the fountain run sweeter than the rain.
[01:39.57]Dogs in the midwinter.
[01:58.17]The boss man and the tax man and the moneylenders growl…
[02:01.65]Like dogs in the midwinter.
[02:05.36]The weaker of the herd can feel their eyes and hear them howl
[02:08.86]Like dogs in the midwinter.
[02:12.75]Though the fox and the rabbit are at peace,
[02:16.46]Cold doggies in the manger turn last suppers into feasts.
[02:26.12]Dogs in the midwinter.
[02:45.29]You ever had a day like i had today —
[02:48.63]Dogs in the midwinter.
[02:52.35]You look around and every face you see —
[02:55.84]Dogs in the midwinter.
[02:59.58]And you peer into those hallowed institutions.
[03:03.13]And they bark at you from every side.
[03:06.82]But the bite goes wide.
[03:10.94]We’re all running on a tightrope, wearing slippers in the snow…
[03:14.00]We’re all dogs in the midwinter.
[03:17.98]The ice is ever thinner. Be careful how you go
[03:21.57]Like dogs in the midwinter.
[03:25.62]And it’s hard to find true equilibrium
[03:29.13]When you’re looking at each other down the muzzle of a gun.
[03:38.72]Dogs in the midwinter.
