I've been running scared and I don’t know why

Knife cut to the bone and an eye for an eye

And you’re feeling so lucky because you got to see the truth behind the lie

She’s got your money and she’s going to suck you until you come dry

I'm telling you it’s twice as bad

That pain in your side– it’s a heart attack

There’s no use running because you’re so slow

You’ve got to pick yourself up yet the die has been thrown

And that black dog is coming round…

I’ve been running this deal and now it’s getting me down

I’ve got these jokers who keep saying the dollar is strong against the pound

I want some freedom but I can’t find the time

It’s like we’re calling for peace and yet the fire’s still burning in Palestine

I’m telling you it’s twice as bad

That pain in your side– it’s a heart attack

There’s no use running because you’re so slow

You’ve got to pick yourself up yet the die has been thrown

And that black dog is coming round…

The black dog is coming round, the black dog is coming round

Shut up shut shut up shut up shut up shut up
