Magic
A love song by ira lee


Daddy's a murderer, ----- he, put her to......... sleep,

cause she had a bad paw / .............. and barely any lime green......... teeeeeeeth,

blind in both of her eyes, / and pissed on everything

Daddy's a murderer, ------- if he's ever been anything,


Daddy's / a murder her, ----- he, ---- put her to......... sleep

hardly shit / at all, / ....... and never wants to eat



Daddy's a murderer, ----- he, put her to sleep,


Daddy's a murderer, ----- he, put her to sleep,

cause she has a bad paw / ............. and whine glass feet,

blind in both of her eyes, / and pissed on everything

Daddy's a murderer, ------- if he's ever been anything,


When I saw your cute little tail, / and that adorable face / i couldn't bear to see you dead ---- inside a garbage bag,

I wish i'd taken you for walks, / ...... and fed you right after school,

when you'd be jumping up and down, / ................. barking at squirrels,............ it was cool

now that's a good girl, / play nice, /................. and daddy'll give you a treat,

cause you'd lick anything / with peanut butter on it, /....... even feet,

I'll call you magic, like the basketball player, / cause it was 'magic' how i never bathed you once,...... or even combed your hair,

Border collie crossed with something, / no one's really sure, /.... the doctor said she got sick form con - suming her own manure

Untill momma caught her munching down on yesterday's crap, / ...... and she made me pick it up with my bare hands, /..... and gave me slap

' .......of all the good for nothing,--------- mother - fucking, -------- greedy,..... un - grateful ------ son - of - a bitch - ing things to do, '

............. she - de - pends on you......

ira......


that dog depends on you, /.............



Daddy / don't murder her, ----- don't / ------ put her to sleep,

doctor said she as at least, / until the end of the week,

blind in both of her eyes, / and pissed on everything

Daddy's a murderer, ------- if he's ever been anything,


Daddy's / the murder her, ----- he, ---- put her to sleep

cause she' s been whining like a stab wound, crying all week,

hardly shit / at all, / ....... and never wants to eat

Daddy's a murder - er, ----- he, put her to sleep,


Daddy's / a murder - her, ----- he, put her to sleep,

cause she has a bad paw / ............. and whine glass feet,

blind in both of her eyes, / and lame in everything

Daddy's a murderer, ------- if he's ever been anything,


Because she was to weak, / and didn't come when we called her, / just slept in the corner, / drenched in sweat , struggling to breathe.

Hard to believe a year ago this frisky puppy, was sniffing crotches in the park, and slobbering on everybody.

Catching frisbees in her mouth and chasing sticks I fake throw, dragging me down the block in mushy, salted city street snow.

we couldn't afford her /..... but you can't abandon family, /.......... she'd get to sleep in the porch, /..... when the weather got too cold or crappy,

Used to be scrappy, / and jump for the toes, now she hardly moves at all and there’s no moisture on her nose.

When she first started puking......... and I told mom she was sick, / she threw her arms up and said, ' great, who's going to pay for this shit?

Momma grabbed her favorite lamp and threw it square atr my head, good thing she missed or more than just the dog would be dead.
