Sally Skinned Her Dog

from Crosseyed Loaded by Chris Shepard (Sierra Dog Romeo)

lyrics

Sally knows what she wants, but people want what they know
They're afraid what it means if they like what she shows
Sally loved her best friend until the day it died
Sally keeps her best friend close to her side

There it was hanging on the wall
I looked in horror...Shocked, appalled
There it was hanging on the wall
Oh my God! Sally skinned her dog

The people stand there amazed and don't say a word
They want to run their hands through her soft fur
A collection of bones covered with skin
Sally wants us to know we're not what we're in

There it was hanging on the wall
I looked in horror...Shocked, appalled
There it was hanging on the wall
Oh my God! Sally skinned her dog

Why did you skin it?
Do you dress in it and dance around the room?
And when you call her does she still come to you?

There it was hanging on the wall
I looked in horror...Shocked, appalled
There it was hanging on the wall
Oh my God! Sally skinned her dog

There's more than one way
There's more than one way
There's more than one way
Sally skinned her dog

There's more than one way
There's more than one way
There's more than one way
To skin a dog
