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
