Black Dog
Mark Hockings
All this welcome attention
Is leaving me cold
Everyone says it's perfect
But that's what they're sold
It's not that I've been saturated
It's really not that complicated
I think that I've lost my place
Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home
No one here has a purpose
Despite what they say
Taken more than my fair share
And thrown it away
It's not that I'm intoxicated
I used to be in the race
Must keep my head above water
Or sink without trace
Black dog don't follow me
Black dog don't swallow me whole
You've taken everything
It's time to go home
