there´s a black dog on my shoulder again
licking my neck and saying she´s my friend
solitude the one thing that i really miss
guess my life is a compromise

there´s a black dog on my shoulder again
i´m playing with it but it´s gone to my head
like carlito´s way there are no exit signs

freeze me there until i am numb
my mouth is so dry
my eyes are shut tight
there´s a black dog a coming tonight
black dog´s a coming tonight

my dilemma but not my choice
winston churchill can you hear my voice
melodrama there in my kitchen sink
double vision the way it is

am i coming home to you again
or am i stupid just by design
does it matter if you really ever know

this black dog is out of control
my mouth is so dry
my eyes are shut tight
there´s a black dog a coming tonight
black dog´s a coming tonight

am i coming home to you again
or am i stupid just by design
does it matter if you really ever know

this black dog is out of control
my mouth is so dry
my eyes are shut tight
there´s a black dog a coming tonight
black dog´s a coming tonight
