Colin Hay - This Time I Got You lyrics

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, don't worry man, I got no claim on you” I remembered I was not alone, one and one make two Spinning round and searching, looking for the door I realized there's no way out, I can run no more I lay right down just where I stood, I only had one shoe I knew that you would come for me, this time I got you This time I got you No one gets out alive it's true, this I surely know The path ahead is paved in gold, everywhere I go I always find you, and with every day anew No longer a janglin' man, ‘cos this time I got you This time I got you
