lyrics

Black Dog, yellow morning
A trip down memory lane
It's been a long time since you’ve been happy
You know I feel the same.

Wide-eyed fury cultures
Growing in tupperware
It’s been sometime since Ive been social
Its been a long long time since Ive had charity

Do you know what I mean?

I want to know what it's like baby,
I want to know what it's like (to be received)
I want to know what it's like honey,
I want to know what it's like (to feel like you)
I want to know what it's like to be beautiful.

Black dog, yellow morning
It's always picking on me
It's been some time since I've been healthy
And overcome defeat

Black dog, smiling faces
Those little masks that we wear,
It's been sometime since I've been honest
It's been a long long time now,
Since I've had clarity

Do you know what I mean?

I want to know what it's like baby,
I want to know what it's like (to be relieved)
I want to know what it's like honey,
I want to know what it's like (to feel like you)
I want to know what it's like to be beautiful.

It's so easy to shadow a feeling with laughter,
It's so easy to cloak a dream in a smile,
It's so easy to hide my wants in a busy day,
And when that evening sun goes down,
In the nights I feel expired
Until helping hands reach on down from in my dreams.
