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
