Hair of the dog

The man who was mortally wounded in war kept on fighting
the man who was cut to the quick by love kept on loving
the man who was mercilessly tortured by
thoughts kept on thinking
the man who was crippled with concern
kept on caring kept on caring

hair of the dog
hair of the dog
hair of the dog that turned
hair of the dog

the man whose eyes were sore from
obscenities kept on looking
the man whose heart bled, killed by
compassion kept on feeling
the man whose legs buckled under exertion kept on running
the man whose ears rang with the sound of
his own name kept on listening
