Logard - The Blue Dog Lyrics

The blue dog dances, bowing to the hall
Swallowing sharp swords, howling to the guitar
Grinning like a human, for everyone's delight
Wagging its tail loyally, reveling in the limelight

The blue dog dances, nose dripping with blood
And an arrow pierced through its deaf ear, with a thud
Let the canine tears fall upon its fur
The naive dog believes in the ball under the cup, as it were

The blue dog, the blue dog
Performing for the cheering mob
But when the curtain falls
Will they remember it at all?

The blue dog died, its paws worn to a pulp
Its ugly stump of a tail will no longer wag or jolt
The curtain closes, the hall erupts in glee
The wandering circus vanished, like a fleeting spree

All that remains of the dog, a puppy's enthusiasm
Its spirit crushed by the harsh reality of cynicism
A life spent entertaining, for a moment's acclaim
In the end, just a memory, a forgotten name

The blue dog, the blue dog
Loyal to the very end, through the slog
But when the show is over and done
Will anyone remember the joy it brought, anyone?

So dance, blue dog, dance while you can
For the world is cruel, and life's but a span
Give them your all, your heart and your soul
And maybe, just maybe, you'll find your true role
Beyond the circus, beyond the façade
A love that's real, a life that's not so hard
