Put your money down
Take your choice
That´s the way it is
every time with these boys
and you sense no shame

and you feel no disgrace
Somebody wins
somebody loses
It´s a dirty dirty race
oh my life
it´s a dog´s life

One empty Monday
out of the blue
Took a good luck turn
Started something new

Out of the gutter
Out of the rain
Out of my head
and I´m feeling no pain
oh my life/feeling no pain
take the strain

It´s a dog´s life

Ducking in the shadows
Diving in the dark
Rolling with the punches
Striking at the heart
Touching all the sense´s
Breaking those taboos
Bursting at the seams
Blowing all my fuses

The turning of a page
The burning of a book
(If you´re) talking out of turn
(It´s) just the way you look

When the time is right
But the shape is wrong

and you find yourself
where you don´t belong

Back to reality
Back on the line
Back into this and you´ll feel no pain
You wanna do it one more time
We can do it once again
Oh my life
It´s a dog´s life
