1
[Verse 1]
2
He never thought he'd think of killing himself
3
But he had've doubted anything to do with his health
4
Wasn't never that kind of gentlemen that needed help
5
Just an everyday bloke try'na handle what he'd been dealt
6
But it was steadily more difficult to conceal when he was too proud to reveal
7
The lonliest fear that he feels
8
Envious of those on an even keal
9
'Cause from where he's sitting that disposition is completely unreal
10
It's not like his cars lost any one of it's wheels
11
It's just as if it been clamped up, secured and sealed
12
Now he's flown the white flag and shown he'd yield
13
Yet the Black Dog relentlessly honed his heal
14
In a planet of 6 bil, still not a soul to understand
15
Too long ago relinquished the upper hand
16
Got him suffocated, tied him like a cummerband
17
Recalls what happy is, that's for another man
18
[Verse 2]
19
His path is lonely even when it's public
20
The clown cries tears, the crowd cheers and loves it
21
Coils with his inner turmoil, cups it
22
Tucks it neatly, keeps him sweetly unflustered
23
People of prominence are just as likely
24
Even if they're hyped as hype be, bright and fiesty
25
They might be the John Konrads and Steve Rogers
26
Gold medals, best and fairest, they got not just
27
cars and ski lodgers - they might even be doctors
28
Judge of character, silver screen your operas
29
Covinced that they imposters, row with one oar
30
Ones that made themselves now think they done for
31
And they can't talk, some of them hit the mute button
32
Men die in bachelor pads, nobody knew nothin'
33
The few years as great as vacant car parks
34
Don't ask why it's hard to laugh
35
[Verse 3]
36
It's 2am he's wandering streets alone
37
Can't remember these avenues they feel unknown
38
Listen to the droan of a distant trucks compression breaks
39
Afraid of the frailty of the things he'd set in place
40
He's had better days, some worse than others
41
Not the kind of fella proud of sleeping in under the covers
42
Close up the shutters, take the phone off the hook
43
And if they enquire he'll reply he was crook
44
It overtook him too long ago
45
And took us on a slow but shortlived prison like S Corby
46
17 years since he celebrated 40, too many candles to blow out and it's too corny
47
He might make a decision and set off a chain of events
48
Find a way to say what he meant
49
But he's spent just looking to get by
50
The Black Dog in the corner of his eye won't back off
51
{Bridge} {X2}
52
Getting stalked by the Black Dog
53
Stalked by the Black Dog
54
They back down but still he won't back off
55
Unable to navigate without a map of
56
the way home
57
Stalked by the Black Dog
58
Stalked by the Black Dog
59
Follow home and hope, why doesn't it back off?
60
Getting followed
61
Followed by the Black Dog
62
Stalked by The Black Dog
