Lyrics What would you say

up and down the puppies' hair
fleas and ticks jump everywhere
rip away the tears
drink a hope to happy years
and you may find a lifetime's passed you by
Chorus
Verse
i was there when the bear ate his head
i don't understand at best and cannot speak for all the rest
the morning's rise a lifetime's passed me by
Chorus
