Manic Street Preachers - Black Dog on My Shoulder Lyrics

There's a black dog on my shoulder again
Licking my neck and saying she's my friend
Solitude the one thing that I really miss
Guess my life is a compromise

There's a black dog on my shoulder again
I'm playing with it but it's gone to my head
Like Carlito's Way there are no exit signs
Freeze me there until I'm numb
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
There's a black dog a-coming tonight
Black dog's a-coming tonight

My dilemma but not my choice
Winston Churchill can you hear my voice?
Melodrama there in my kitchen sink
Double vision the way it is

Am I coming home to you again
Or am I stupid just by design?
Does it matter if you really ever know?
This black dog is out of control
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
There's a black dog a-coming tonight
Black dog's a-coming tonight

Am I coming home to you again
Or am I stupid just by design?
Does it matter if you really ever know?
This black dog is out of control
My mouth is so dry
My eyes are shut tight
There's a black dog a-coming tonight
Black dog's a-coming tonight
