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
