"Black Dog" lyrics

Black Dog

Black dog barking
In the cold grey light
He pulls the chain
And he pulls it tight
This ain't no lonesome wail
That boy ain't faking

He bites the steel
And he claws the ground
He pulls again
And he spins around
His eyes are raging
And his burning lungs are steaming

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog
Better than I
I said, no one knows that black dog
Better than I

When I see his running
I can see me
Teeth in the collar
And he's tearing it free
Spit out the leather
And the cold studs that kept you from singing

Ah, run till you're bleeding
Run till you're hot
Till the memory of all this
You've long since forgot
Run till forever
Till the bells of your freedom are ringing

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog
Better than I
I said, no one knows that black dog
Better than I

He wanna walk in the sun
Feel love like anyone
No one knows that black dog
No one knows that black dog
I said, no one knows that black dog
Better than I

Black dog
Black dog
Black dog
I said, no one knows that black dog
Better than I

Black dog
Black dog
Black dog
