Bandicoot Island Misery Box - Ominous Black Dog Lyrics

Fate loves you, then leaves you
Hunts you down for more
Grabs you, cruels your chances
And then throws you to the floor
You live with anxiety
You wait for news with dread
The uncertainty is terrible
And you shiver in your bed

That means that you, are waiting for
The Ominous Black Dog

That black dog skulks round your camp site
Whining for a leg to bite
First he barks at the campfire
Then he howls at the moon all night
That dog hangs around
To make sure you know what's in store
First he dogs your actions
Then he's dogging all your thoughts

Oh I know that I'm waiting for
The Ominous Black Dog

Life is a heartbeat, death next to it
And both just one skip away
The dog is on your doorstep
To turn your life to grey
He drags in news like a foul rodent
That confirms your worst fears
And while you are bleeding with sorrow
That dog just laps up all your tears

Oh we are all, waiting for
The Ominous Black Dog

We are all, waiting for
The Ominous Black Dog

We are all, waiting for
The Ominous Black Dog
