Description

This song is a 9-minute epic to close out Hip to the Javabean. There are three sections to the song, the first and last parts having tangible melodies, while the middle section is mostly ambient piano noises and rising tones.

The first section is a loud, instrumental section with a verse-chorus structure. It lasts from 0:00 to 2:38. The second section is mostly filled with ambient piano, with some rising synth tones blasting for the latter half of it. It lasts from 2:38 to 7:50, the longest part of the three. The third section is a quieter acoustic guitar section, the only one with lyrics. It talks about a presumably rabid dog, or rather one that just has mental issues. It lasts from 7:50 to 9:40.

Lyrics

Sick puppy, you're a threat to the peace
Gone batty, running from the county police
Well, I hope you get well soon

Why, baby, did you have to do that?
Set fire to Mrs. Ellerman's cat... meow!
Well, I hope you get well soon

If I were a registered psychiatrist
We could be together for all time
It's a shame you're on the lam
But I don't really give a damn
That you used a stolen taser
On that unsuspecting mime

Sick puppy, have you been taking your pills?
No worries, but you better head for the hills
Well, I hope you get well soon
I hope you get well soon
I hope you get well soon

Soon
