MGMT: The Enigmatic and Slightly Disturbing Tale of “Bubblegum Dog”

Music • Views: 14,585

Bubblegum dog
Tell me what the truth is
Isn’t this bed a log?
Doesn’t that confuse things?
Shouldn’t I run?
Isn’t that the white man?
None of this seems like fun
But maybe that’s the point man?

For years I’ve strung you along
Afraid of the Bubblegum dog
And it’s finally catching up with me
I hope it’s a false alarm
‘Cause the pain of the bubblegum dog
It’s finally catching up with me

Who’da believe I saw
Tenement homes
Built upon a fault line
Juvenile quetzal birds
Living in the coal mine
Manicured lawns
Tibetan straw men
Igneous basketballs
Drifting through the heavens

I hate this earthly world
But hate is a very strong word
And it’s finally catching up with me
The years of plodding on
In fear of the Bubblegum dog
It’s finally catching up with me

So I’ll pray it won’t be long
I’ll wake up and it’s all gone
You and me
We’ll keep it calm
My Bubblegum dog

Solo

The shame of vitriol
Aimed at the Bubblegum dog
It’s finally catching up with me
I hate this bubblegum world
But hate is a very strong word
And it’s finally catching up with me

So we’ll hide until it’s gone
Boil the ones that don’t belong
Pay the man to keep it on
Days are short and nights are long
Bang our heads against the gong
Maybe tinkle on the lawn
One for all and all for one
My Bubblegum dog
