Black Dogs

There are black dogs tripping on the landing see
I most sure won't ever find tranquillity
'cause as I look out through the window
there are worms there in the rain
that have eaten of the tree that I erected all in vain!

There are green snakes chewing at a picture frame
I won't ever get myself outside again
'cause there are spiders in my bathtub
and some witchfires are cracklin'
and that everlasting rain that make me drain!

There are yellow beetles in my coffe mug
I see maggots crawling in my body flesh
and though I live withing a dream
where I'm all swollen up and sore
I still think I could get home just like before!

I just had a visit by a heffalump
and the basement is all full of olden rags
and though I play my little games
and I'm laughing out in bursts
I still see the direction where this fate is leading!
