I think you guys aren't giving the singer enough credit in this song. Yes he is the "dog" at the feet of someone (presumably a woman) who abuses him despite his loyalty, it seems he has alterior motives. "Just when you think you've left me blind, I will be creeping right up behind" - he knows he's being underestimated and labeled a lap dog, but he has been keeping an eye on her, and when the time is right (when she least expects it) he will come out of nowhere and turn the tables, taking advantage of her instead to get whatever it is he wants.
At least, that's what I got out of it. Great song, great album.
