	Two-sun-dogs locked and away outta sight Holding on, to the words, dreams of you while I, thought Winter got the cover in the cold dead light Spring it brought the plague in the dogs We were waiting and quiet If Summer got another lover rolling with the dice Well then Autumn got the bottom of the barrel Just between you and I Left to watch the year die Guess it's the state of my mind Everybody's running out of time Everybody's coming after you and I Everybody's running out of time Even me and you We were getting lost, tried to brush this aside Mother stabbed your father in the arm with the push of a knife Trying to save him from the flies And Of course we can't run, we're running out of time And the weight, on my head, and my heart, its a human mind Whenever its alone Everybody's running on their own Everybody's coming after you and I Everybody's running out of time Even me and you I've had the strangest thoughts To keep the cold war hot I-I-I-I'm getting you down now, Guess the world forgot I-I-I-I'm letting you down getting you down, now, too Everybody's running out of time ....... (running out of time) Everybody's coming after you and I .... (coming after you and I) After me and you Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh Two dogs paddle away outta site Running while the words eating you alive You and I alone Two dogs paddle away outta site Running while the words eating us alive You and I alone

about

Percussive folk-rock trio The Rural Alberta Advantage return with a new single, “Plague Dogs." Discussing the track, guitarist/vocalist Nils Edenloff shared: “Being a child of the 80's the movie ‘Watership Down’ was long ago seared into my brain, and it was in 2019 that I came across one of Richard Adams’ other novels ‘Plague Dogs’. Having read ‘Watership Down’ and ‘Shardick’ when I first moved to Toronto, I found myself drawn to ‘Plague Dogs’, and found the title creeping into a song we were playing around with in early 2020.

The song doesn't end up following the events of the novel in any way, but it underscores the specific time frame that we started to work on this song. The feelings of dread, uncertainty and isolation that I felt while reading the novel, along with the eerily similar feelings around early on in the pandemic are so tightly coupled with this song that it all feels like one for me.”

“Plague Dogs” was workshopped live over the band’s sold out Canadian tour through the Fall before returning home to record, and follows their continued efforts to record and release new music in real time as the year progresses.
