Headlock from Headlock by Troy Bentley

Headlock with the black dog

Dissolving resolve, fizzing through the cracks.
The floorboards are creaking under my gravitas
Not even your sunshine can tear me from the bark of the Black Dog
Magnetic pull, down with the Black Dog

Headlock with the Black Dog
Matching me stride for stride
Headlock with the Black Dog
Scanning watching me now
Headlock with the Black Dog
He’s prowling the fields
Headlock with the Black Dog
Is that him scratching on your door

Stone the crows, on the perch of that old hanging tree
Up top of Dean Lane where the sky meet the fields
Their squawking grey morning, alarm bells they ring
for a new soul to join them up here on the swing

Trudging the bog, knee deep in and sinking, sinking
Can’t lift my head from the Black Dog taking me down, down and sinking
trudging, knee deep, sinking, sinking

Headlock with the Black Dog
Matching me stride for stride
Headlock with the Black Dog
Scanning watching me now
Headlock with the Black Dog
He’s prowling the fields
Headlock with the Black Dog
Is that him scratching on your door

So dog wants a new home, he’s spared me for now
His paws on my tail but he’s disinterested somehow
He’s prowling the fields, scanning watching you now
Prowling, Prowling

Headlock with the Black Dog (repeat till end).
