Lyrics

I cut the throat of a billy goat and let it bleed

His frozen eyes were far more than I

It's kind of nice to know the things that make me happy

Just realize keep the dog away from me

I found it don't matter when

It's not nice to feel alone inside

This little goat won't mind

All my fears are just vanishing

And the blood will let me find a way

Will open heaven

Down in here all my dreams are filled

Good and bad they seem to be the same

And never lonely

If I just let this power in

It will work it will make me feel O.K.

Be sure forever
