There's a lock on my cupboard door That I can only reach once inside And I often sit and wonder who designed Such a perfect place for me to hide It's just my name It's just my skin Holding a boulder Can you swim? Oh as we fall Through the water You find a piece within And you know it's just your skin Well I was never lonely 'till the day that I was born Since that day I masquerade in a skin that I have worn With at least three separate individual minds When long John returns he'll give a scream And what he finds Is just my name Is just my skin Holding a boulder Can you swim? Oh as we fall Through the water You find a piece within And you know it's just your Black dog, black dog, that I'll never know Oh black dog haunts you mind, your world, your soul Oh black dog, black dog, can't you see I am fine? Oh black dog, black dog, you're no plague of mine It's just my name It's just my skin Holding a boulder Can you swim? It's just my name Oh, it's just my skin Holding a boulder Can you swim? Oh as we fall Through the water You find a piece within And you know it's just your skin
