| This old black dog is hounding me
|
| It waits 'round the corner and hides in the trees
|
| I feel the chill of something blown in on a breeze
|
| In the light of a cinema screen I hide
|
| Laughing I only feel empty inside
|
| Crying means nothing, I’ve nothing to say
|
| I wish I could kick this old black dog away
|
| And the worst part is knowing my part in it all
|
| Yeah the worst part is knowing its nothing at all
|
| Oh if I can pull myself together I’ll try
|
| I can’t explain the tear that sits in my eye
|
| I try to outsmart him but somehow he knows
|
| Wherever I am, that fucking dog goes
|
| I’ll kill him the next time I swear I won’t fail
|
| I’ll kick in his ribs and I’ll rip off his tail
|
| And the worst part is thinking it’s something it’s not
|
| Yeah the worst part is thinking it might never stop
|
| Oh if I can pull myself together I’ll try
|
| I can’t explain the tear that sits in my eye
|
| And the worst part is trying to explain it to you
|
| The worst part is knowing there’s nothing to do
|
| Oh if I can pull myself together I’ll try
|
| Oh but I cant explain the tear that sits in my eye
|
| If I can pull myself together I’ll try
|
| Oh if I can’t pull myself together I’ll die |
