Put your money down

Take your choice

That's the way it is

every time with these boys

and you sense no shame

and you feel no disgrace

Somebody wins

somebody loses

It's a dirty dirty race

oh my life

it's a dog's life



One empty Monday

out of the blue

Took a good luck turn

Started something new



Out of the gutter

Out of the rain

Out of my head

and I'm feeling no pain

oh my life/feeling no pain

take the strain

It's a dog's life



Ducking in the shadows

Diving in the dark

Rolling with the punches

Striking at the heart

Touching all the sense's

Breaking those taboos

Bursting at the seams

Blowing all my fuses



The turning of a page

The burning of a book

(If you're) talking out of turn

(It's) just the way you look



When the time is right

But the shape is wrong

and you find yourself

where you don't belong



Back to reality

Back on the line

Back into this and you'll feel no pain

You wanna do it one more time

We can do it once again

Oh my life

It's a dog's life
