Dog Years Lyrics - Test For Echo - Rush

In a dog's life 

A year is really more like seven 

And all too soon a canine 

Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven 

It seems to me 

As we make our own few circles 'round the sun 

We get it backwards 

And our seven years go by like one 

Dog years -- It's the season of the itch 

Dog years -- With every scratch it reappears 

In the dog days 

People look to Sirius 

Dogs cry for the moon 

But these connections are mysterious

It seems to me 

While it's true that every dog will have his day 

When all the bones are buried 

There is barely time to go outside and play 

Dog years -- It's the season of the itch 

Dog years -- With every scratch it reappears 

Dog years -- For every sad son of a bitch 

Dog years -- With his tail between his ears 

I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos 

Or a span of geological time 

Than be living in these dog years 

In a dog's brain 

A constant buzz of low-level static 

One sniff at the hydrant 

And the answer is automatic 

Photos 

It seems to me 

As well make our own few circles 'round the block 

We've lost our senses 

For the higher-level static of talk
