about

A song inspired by all the dogs who eat weed and have to go to the hospital. That, and people who impact your life but aren't meant to stay long.

lyrics

When I first met you
I was a stoned dalmatian
My spots were melting
And my vision was changing
But you had hopes for me
And by the end of hour three
I felt better, felt better
I was wearing my puppy sweater

Ooh

When I first met you
I was a pet store goldfish
My belly was bloating
I was damn near close to floating
But you pitied me
And refused to flush me
So I kept swimming, kept swimming
Oh yeah I kept on living

Ooh

When you first met me
I was a cat stuck in a tree
All spit and claws
Too quick on the draw
But you rescued me
From that big old maple tree
With a big ladder, big ladder
To you the fall didn't matter

Ooh

You saved me
Like an endangered species
There's only one of you and
Only one of me
Like Bigfoot and good old Nessie
But you caught me, caught me
Too bad the picture's blurry

Ooh
