The Tail That Wags the Dog
(McAndrew)

Intro
Wag the tail
Wag, wag the tail

Verse 1
Beware the dog that lies there growling
With hair erect along it's back
Beware the dog that sits there howling
When you try to approach it will attack
 
Chorus
Shadowy shapes that start to sharpen
Ever clearer, clearer as lifting fog
Closer to the source that makes it happen
grab a hold of the tail that wags the dog

Re-Intro
Wag the tail
Wag, wag the tail

Verse 2
Don't go near the lion that lies sleeping
Unless you like to live life from the ledge
Beware the lamb that lies low bleating
In disguise a viper on the edge

Chorus
Shadowy shapes that start to sharpen
Ever clearer, clearer as lifting fog
Closer to the source that makes it happen
Grab a hold of the tail that wags the dog

Middle 8
Breathing heavy, what's now approaching
What now comes along
Hold the line against the menace that's encroaching
Send it back where it belongs
Remain strong

Chorus
Shadowy shapes that start to sharpen
Ever clearer, clearer as lifting fog
Closer to the source that makes it happen
Take a hold of the tail that wags the dog

Outro
Wag the tail
Wag, wag, wag the tail
Wag, wag, wag, wag
Oh wag, wag, wag, wag, wag

For as good as this song is... I'd have thought it'd have taken a year to produce... funny how when ya get the right players all in the same place at the same time... good things just happen hum?

Kudos to all 

Thanks for allowing me to play. 

[Tricia41]

Indeed, there is a little bit of Asia in it. Great tune, guys - congratulations!

Funny thing,..I remember listening this when Bill had just posted it in Studio A and thinking,." I gotta get in on this!!",...then I got caught up with other collabs and forgot about this one.

Then I see it in the mixing stage and stayed up most of the night getting my 2 cents in.

Bill,.. I listen to this song frequently,.. totally my style of rock!!  Your one of my favorites on here brother!!

Everyone that contributed on this did a really really great job.

John,..really well thought out and executed drum track,..love the full to half time stuff and the hi hat work on this.

Steve,.. really great vox and lyrics,.. expect nothing less from you and you never disappoint.

Thanks for letting me sneak in.

Entered it at Garageband and got a review. Thought you might like to see it:

review
The guitars were killer, loved the intro. Hits you like a brick. Vocals are crisp and clean. Nice tones, the singer has some pipes. The guitars really keep the song moving though, definitely the heart of the song. Drums are pounding my head like a hammer. Good drummin. Keep up the killer song writing. Like at the movies. I give this song 2 thumbs up.
