Lyrics : Ten Degrees of Strange

One, two, three, four

There's a black dog following hot on my trail
Set firm on holding my heart till it fades
Got nine days sleepless seeking to keep this dog off my tail
Got this old bag of bones through seven time zones
Oh, I'm ten degrees of strange, I'm trying to change
Tryna shake off my shadow
Still hoping to get out of the black dog's range

So I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
Gonna run like a river right down to the sea
Gonna run like the sap through the heart of a tree
I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust

Oh, you are the pebble and I was the ripple
You are the puzzle and I was the riddle
Together, together, got lost in the middle
You took signs from wonders and some of the meteors
In winter, the thunder, the trees split asunder
Wherever we wander
Now I'm stormbound on high ground, a Jack on the hedge
A wreck on the beach
Still trying to stay out of the black dog reach

'Cause some days are long, the grace of an end
Dam up the river or dry out instead
Bury me there, body and head
Far from the black dog song

Well, I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
And I run like a river right down to the sea
Gonna run like the sap through the heart of a tree
I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
Gonna run like a river right down to the sea
Gonna run like the sap through the heart of a tree
I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
