intro: This old black dog is hounding me He waits round the corner and hides in the trees I feel the chill of something blown in on the breeze And the light of the 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 it's nothing at all Oh if I can pull myself together I'll try Oh I can't explain the tear that sits in my eye Try to out smarten but somehow he knows Wherever I am, that fucking dog goes Oh I'll kill him and this time I swear I won't feel I'll kick in his ribs and I'll rip off his tail
