Palomar Songtext
von Rheostatics

There he is on the top of a mountain
Sharing biscuits with his dog
Meaning ′he' in the general sense of the word
As he is all of us here
And his dog asked him why he′s alone
And he replied "I am with my friend
Are you leaving me to join the blur?
Cause I don't need you around"

Palomar, what's wrong?
Where′d your dog go?
Well he′s gone for fresh meat and supplies
Done this before

He arrives in town an hour later
It's much quicker on four legs, pal is on two
Takes his usual spot out back at the butcher shop
Waiting patiently for closing time


Meanwhile back on the mountain
Palomar is cleaning his lenses with saline water
As he reassembles his kaleidoscope
Waiting patiently for dark

Palomar, why not take this chance
To reflect on things that you done did
Thereby making it better
Why don′t you just try without asking why?
Could be better than a room with a view
And a lovely little doggie to share it with

He gets back, we'll share in our meat
There′s always something good to eat

So we'm alone in his observatory
Rejoining the little dog in our story
Who′s run off with some cur bear and his pups
As the last of his tale

Palomar, what's wrong?
Where'd your dog go?
Oh he′s gone for good, that goes to show you
Love is thicker than brains in a man
Or a dog to say the least
