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
