[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling
These broken nights and bitter ends
We would always starve and devour
Our closest friends my, beautiful friends
Paranoia, my paranoia
Can't let it go, it never lets me go
What am I feeling, why am I feeling?
Forecast into the freezing cold

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I'm the last and the first, in a very sad set of eyes
To the bone, to the knees, to the factory line
I am numb to the shot, I have a crippling fear of heights
Cause the fall sounds a lot like a symphony of cries

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Your only hope is burning down the chapel
All getting washed out with the tide
We need to find some middle ground
It's always sex or suicide

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I'm the last and the first, in a very sad set of eyes
To the bone, to the knees, to the factory line
I am numb to the shot, I have a crippling fear of heights
Cause the fall sounds a lot like a symphony of cries

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
I'm the last and the first, in a very sad set of eyes
To the bone, to the knees, to the factory line
I am numb to the shot, I have a crippling fear of heights
Cause the fall sounds a lot like a symphony of cries

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
