"Dog Gone"

SUBJECT: Frank has explained this one before, but I can't remember exactly what he said. Something about this song coming from how he fantasises about a meteor crashing to Earth, because his girlfriend says that's the only thing that'll separate her from her dog.

LYRICS:
I could not pray / I felt so dog gone / couldn't get no witness but I did not know / then a voice in a whisper said you`ve got to carry it on / and the news is gonna break / the news is gonna break / the news is gonna break that I am here / out along the way I got so bogged down / I had some business there I did not slow / and a boy in the world said you've got to carry it on / and the news is gonna break / the news is gonna break / the news is gonna break that I am here / I'm not a messenger / I'm not the passenger / got some business there but I did not know / and the point of my visit, well, sir, that's to carry me on / and the news is gonna break / and the news is gonna break / yeah, your noose is gonna break when I am there / no Paris / no Nepal / no Barstow / won't be none of them at all / no Congo / no Kisk or Kishangargh / no Memphis / it doesn't matter who you are / I'm on my way / I feel so dog gone / go 'bout your business but you did not know / and the point if there is one, well, sir, that's to carry me on / and the news is gonna break / (your noose is gonna break) / the news is gonna break that I am here / the news is gonna break that I am here / and your noose is gonna break when I am here
