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
