this time i got you

dogs and such

they don't know how old they really are

they don't have to go to work

or learn to drive a car

they just live 'til they can't see

'til their bark ain't got no bite

i still hear him howlin'

howling in the night

the air is still as time flies by at a most unruly pace

unless you're in a prison cell

it has no name or face

i do recall what i told myself

as i turned 52

this time it's different

this time i got you

this time i got you

walking in the patient's room

when everything turned red

i recognized the reaper man who raised his ugly head

he said relax
