Hello Black Dog

Breaks out the door like a heavy freight train No one can slow him down Casts a dark cloud that covers the horizon Wild like a pack of hounds Runs through the night in a full-blown rage Bursting out of stealth Returns again to sleep in his cage and to nurse the wounds he dealt Hello black dog have you been fighting What the hell did you do I thought that you were gone or in hiding Maybe I was hiding from you Rooster calls in the pounding light Snakeskin dies to dust From the water he howls a tower of sound Because he knows that he is lost Demons in dark coats devices with eyes dragging him too and fro Is there someone out there can you throw him a line Can you show him the homeward road Hello black dog have you been fighting What the hell did you do I thought that you were gone or in hiding Maybe I was hiding from you You've tried to get out of here But your motives have never been clear You tore up the walls Ignored the innocent calls Now the light streams through the cracks And the tears bring you back Hello black dog have you been fighting What the hell did you do I thought that you were gone or in hiding Maybe I was hiding from you Hello black dog have you been fighting What the hell did you do I thought that you were gone or in hiding Maybe I was hiding from you Maybe I was hiding from you Maybe I was hiding from you
