black dog on my shoulder

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
