Lyrics

BIG BLACK DOG

VERSE 1 (&5)
Find myself in a mood so foul
Big black dog sulks and growls
The only thing I can see
Those dark eyes staring at me
Sun goes down, there's no moon
All I hear's a mournful tune
Can not run, cannot hide
In a cave, deep inside

CHORUS
I've been chasing the big black dog
Big black dog's really following me
Palms are damp and my head's in fog
Big black dog's been following me
Got me down and got me up in a tree
Big black dog's been following me

VERSE 2
This old dog got me down
Chasin' me all over town
Then things go from bad to worse
That dark dog has been my curse
Times I wish he'd run away
And leave me for a month and a day
But then I think in the end
That big black dog is my only friend

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Crazy old dog chasing its tail
Never catch it, always fails
Each day I go round and round
That dog runs me into the ground
Big black dog ain't so bad
Mostly he just makes me sad
It's about the shadow that he casts
That darkness seems to last and last

CHORUS

VERSE 5
Find myself in a mood so foul
Big black dog sulks and growls
The only thing I can see
Those dark eyes staring at me
Sun goes down, there's no moon
All I hear's a mournful tune
Can not run, cannot hide
In a cave, deep inside

CHORUS+OUTRO
I've been chasing the big black dog
Big black dog's really following me
Palms are damp and my head's in fog
Big black dog's been following me
Got me down and got me up in a tree
Big black dog's been following me
Big black dog's been following me
Big black dog's been
following
following
following me
(Random howling)
