Lost Dogs Scenic Routes Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Derri Daugherty]
Otto shakes his blinders off, plows up the common streets
Lost dogs bark the Nicene Creed and dream of bones to eat
Praise eglantines, hot joe and beans, the sea, the desert heat

[Chorus 1]
Yeah, we'll take the scenic routes
(Stop and smell the roses)
Imagine what it's all about
(With eyes wide open)
Paint the common things with mystery and renovate our history
When we take the scenic routes

[Verse 2 - Derri Daugherty]
Otto rides Narragansetts on back the westward wind
To pecan logs and shopping malls and illustrated men
Loves Christ the Lamb, Mom, eggs and ham
And this tattoo on his skin

[Chorus 2]
Says we'll take the scenic routes
(Stop and smell the roses)
Imagine what it's all about
(With wide-eyed wonder)
The cloud-enfolded Trinity unpacks the ancient tapestry When we take the scenic routes
[Bridge - Terry Scott Taylor]
Pigs in a blanket
Nice and hot
Wax museums
Mystery Spot
Great balls of string
Cheap shrunken heads
The Penguin Boy says

[Outro]
Yeah, we'll take the scenic routes
(Stop and smell the roses)
Imagine what it's all about
(With eyes wide open)
Yeah, we'll take the scenic routes
(Stop and smell the roses)
Imagine what it's all about
(With wide-eyed wonder)
Yeah, we'll take the scenic routes
(Stop and smell the roses)
Imagine what it's all about
(There's nowhere else I'd rather be)
Yeah, we'll take the scenic routes
(Stop and smell the roses)
Imagine what it's all about
(The summer)
We'll take the scenic routes
(Chase the endless summer)
Imagine what it's all about
(Chase the endless summer)
