On a String Songtext
von Dogs on Ice

Hanged upside in shopping malls, sometimes in the park
Wandering curiosity snaps somewhere in the dark
Misguided, ill-prepared, know the sides can change
Kids are supposed to be something you love, not something you tame

Time bomb, expensive line, waiting, young child stragglers away
Mother gives amnesia drug like he′s a four-legged stray
Open minds for small wanderers, open cups ran shut
There's the rule, but the umbilical cord was never cut


It′s a little baby on a string
Young mother grips the ring
It's a little baby on a string
Young mother doesn't do anything

Later on in life, the wolf′s back, child′s on the loose
Can't survive the mother′s lap, can't get off the noose
Can′t be independent, can't get free agency
Back when I was a younger boy, didn′t have a string on me


It's a little baby on a string
Young mother grips the ring
It's a little baby on a string
Young mother doesn′t do anything
It′s a little baby on a string
Young mother grips the ring
It's a little baby on a string
Young mother doesn′t do anything
