Black Dog Lyrics

I throw a stick off a cliff, tie him to a tree
But it don't work - but it don't work
Chocolate bars in his food, shot to sleep for good
But it don't work - No, it don't work
He's sneaking up from behind
Taking over my life

He growls and he shows his teeth, when I try to leave
So I don't dare - No, I don't dare
When my friend's at the door - he blows up by four
So they don't dare - No, they don't dare
He's creeping into my mind - He's the deadliest kind
Yeah he makes me mentally blind - Come on...

Chorus:

Black dog get out of my head
Get lost, you're driving me mad
Take a hike - Hoooh
On the tracks if you like - Hoooh - Come on...
Black dog get out of my head
Get lost, I wish you were dead
Take a bite - Hoooh - On some lit dynamite - Hooo

Then sometimes when he's floored - I sneak out the door
But it don't work - No, it don't work
On every corner and street he shows up at my feet
Oh it don't work
And then he barks and he bites - Pushing me back inside
Close the curtains, turn off the lights - Come on...

Chorus

Guitar solo

Chorus:

Black dog get out of my head
Get lost, you're driving me mad
Take a hike - Hoooh - On the tracks if you like - Hoooh - Come on...
Black Dog get out of my head - Drink from a toilet instead
Take a hike - Hoooh - On the tracks if you like - Hoooh - Come on... Black dog get out of my head
Get lost, I wish you were dead
Take a bite - Hoooh - On some lit dynamite - Hooooh

I throw a stick off a cliff
Tie him to a tree
But it don't work...
