There's a black dog on my shoulder again

Licking my neck

And saying she's my friend

Solitude

The one thing 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 dogs

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 dogs

A coming tonight
