about

Steve Kilian can be heard muttering something at the beginning of this track.

lyrics

Death’s dog is made of bones
He has to wear a black cone
To keep him from biting himself
And burying himself
In the back yard lawn
I hear him moaning all night long
And howling at the moon like a coyote
Now I know he’s coming to get me

I can hear Death’s dog scratching at the door
Go away boy you’ve got to stay outdoors
But he’s scratching scratching scratching at the door

I laid a blanket out in the garage
Death’s dog got out got into the garbage
Chewed and scattered What a disaster
I can hear the voice of his master
I hear someone whisper my name in the night
I’m shivering and thinking of dog bites
Death’s dog’s got worms and fleas and flies
And red hot coals for eyes

I can hear Death’s dog
I hear Death’s dog
And bony fingers twisting the knobs
Claws clicking on the kitchen floor
Now he’s sniffing at my bedroom door

I can hear Death’s dog scratching at the door
