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
