lirik lagu cady huffman - a dog named bodhisattva
there’s a big dog running for all his worth
so fast his feet don’t seem to touch the earth
and his name is bodhisattva
and he’s got four legs
and bodhi lives in an area of oakland, california popular
with lesbians and democrats
democratic lesbians flood the coffee shops and the bars
republican lesbians live elsewhere, like mars
and bodhisattva runs like a happy fool scaring the girls
at the corner public school who cry “oh my g~d, it’s a dog!
i hate dogs” but who cried the day bodhisattva almost died
struck by some idiot with a pickup truck
bodhi recovered except for one leg in the front which atrophied
so if you asked him to beg he’d sit and he’d offer up the leg
that didn’t work as if to say “here
please take this from me, it hurts.”
but his owner didn’t know that that’s what he was doing
until one night he found bodhisattva chewing
on the withered limb in the living room alone
drunk on the taste of his own blood, chewing his arm
down to the bone as though through pain simply trying
to prove it still existed or maybe just to remove it
he’s a big dog running for all his worth
so fast his feet don’t seem to touch the earth
and his name is bodhisattva
and he’s got three legs
that’s right they took him to the vet
they have the leg chopped off, cremated and kept
in an urn aloft on the mantle piece over the fireplace
so whenever bodhisattva came near
that place you couldn’t see it but he’d sit
and he’d beg offering up his missing limb
to the ashes of his missing leg
and just so you know when bodhisattva peed
he still peed like a boy dog
there was no need to sort of squat like a girl dog
in the middle of the street
he would lift up his leg and he would rest it on a tree
or the hydrant, or the side of a picnic table
he’d make 3 points of contact and therefore stay stable
he’d look at the girl dog, like he’s going to say
“what are you looking at, b~tch?”
and he still scared the girls at the corner
public school, a three~legged dog being scarier
as a general rule than the regular four~legged kind
more extreme
“oh my g~d, it’s a three~legged dog!”
they would scream and so it went as many years passed
bodhisattva running fast past the houses of the lesbians
and the democrats who in general favor smaller dogs and cats
until there came a day
when bodhisattva couldn’t go outside and soon
after came the day when bodhisattva died
and his owner had him cremated
but then to ease his soul again he added the ashes
of the missing leg to make bodhisattva whole again
the people of oakland have seen strange sights
it’s a ghostly figure late at night
it’s a big dog running for all his worth
so fast his feet don’t seem to touch the earth
and his name is bodhisattva and he’s got four legs again
