The black dog has got twisted ears    The black dog has got a blind nose    His heart is racing with white worms    And he foams at the mouth    Children pass him on the sidewalk    They don't extend their hand    There's a fresh coat of paint in his eyes    And they don't want it to rub off on them       Have you ever seen a black dog?    Beware of the black dog       See the black dog by the gutter    Sniffing the wing of a dead bird    Well some things fly but fall    And some things never leave the earth    His tongue is sipping muddy water    His reflection is mixed in with the dirt    Some animals will die of hunger    But the black dog will never die of thirst       Have you ever touched a black dog?    Beware of the black dog       Look out your cracked window    Look up into the sky    Does your stomach hurt when you laugh?    Does your heart hurt when you dry?    Do you try and throw the sky a bone    When the night opens up it's mouth?    Does it make you feel all the more alone    To sit and watch the moon go down?       Has anybody seen my black dog?    Beware of the black dog
