Mad dog

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover

Don't look too long in my face, it could be a big mistake
I'm hanging on a thread so fine, I need a little space
I shouldn't say but I know I must, I've had enough of pain
I'm pissed off standing in the rain
It makes me feel like a mad dog
I got nothing to lose
A mad dog
You got nothing I can use
Mad dog
Howling at the moon
A mad dog

I need no friends, I'm on the edge of a broken dream
Laughing at the pain but it makes me want to scream
I should have known she'd be no good, she tore my heart in two
But I don't need to talk to you
You make me feel like a mad dog
I got nothing to lose
A mad dog
You got nothing I can use
A mad dog
Howling at the moon
Mad dog

She said "A hard man is good to find" and then she raised a doubt
All that I could give she took and then she threw me out
Well I don't care, I don't care anymore, I'm going to lose my grip
I'm going to let it rip
Oh ouh yaauh yaaaaauh
Mad dog
I got nothing to lose
A mad dog
You got nothing I can use
A mad dog
Howling at the moon
A mad dog, mad dog, mad dog, mad dog, mad dog, mad-mad, mad-mad dog
