I was just kicking down the street   And the sun was in my eyes   So I couldn't see the truck   That was sixty times my size   And just seconds off from splattering me   Let me tell you   I was so scared I couldn't move   Like my boots were full of glue   Then I felt a little tug   And I thought of good Old Blue   And he pulled me from that catastrophe      That was the day   My dead pet returned to save my life   I'm alive   He's alive   I'm alive      I was spitting in the canyon   Near the cliff up on the mountain   When an unexpected sneeze   Hung me in the breeze   At forty five degrees in the sky   Suddenly I felt something   Had me by the belt   And in between my praying   Swore I heard a stallion neighing   Was the ghost of my horse   And I cried, yes I cried      That was the day   My dead pet returned to save my life   That was the day   My dead pet returned to save my life   I'm alive   He's alive   Hey, I'm alive      Things were getting gory   Got caught on territory   Belonging to the Crutches   In an alley in their clutches   Looking kind of dismal that night   Well the leader's name was Fats   Swinging broken baseball bats   Things got really frantic   Starting jumping in their panic   Hallucinating billions of rats   Lots of rats      That was the day   My dead pet returned to save my life   That was the day   My dead pet returned to save my life   I'm alive, I'm alive, real alive      That was the day my dead pet returned   That was the day my dead pet returned   That was the day my dead pet returned   That was the day my dead pet returned   To save my life      I'm alive, I'm alive   He's alive, he's alive, he's alive   I'm alive, yeah   He's alive, he's alive   I'm alive, real alive   Alive, alive, alive   Alive, alive, alive, alive   Alive, alive, alive, alive   I'm alive
