I'm Alive (That Was the Day My Dead Pet Returned (3:14)

(Alice Cooper, Erik Scott, Dick Wagner)

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
