Goodbye Horses

He told me, "I've seen it rise
But, it always falls
I've seen them come, I seen 'em go"
He said, "All things pass into the night"
And I said, "Oh, no sir
I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh, no sir
I must say you're wrong
Won't you listen to me?"
He told me, "I've seen it all before
I've been there, I've seen my hopes and dreams a-lying on the ground
I've seen the sky, just begin to fall"
He said, "All things pass into the night"
And I said, "Oh, no sir
I must say you're wrong
I must disagree, oh, no sir
I must say you're wrong
Won't you listen to me?"
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying, flying, flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses, I'm flying, flying, flying over you

it is what it is
here we are again
moments to forget
like magnolias
footnotes in the Evening Star
hold your tongue, break it up
ah, there’s the rub
run amok
golden lights, a bridge too far
mischief at hand, outstretched arms
lost in the pause, lost in the fog
of it all
it’s the end of the line and
we don’t have time for this
we close our empty hearts
close inside our chest
there’s too much noise at hand
unraveling our threads
come and kiss-me-sweet-and-twenty
we can’t go home again
a penny arcade beyond our means
scattered applause and vanishing
I can’t stand up…..I can’t stand up
so help me
going off like Kalashnikovs
off with his head, off his head
warning shots, leave me to rot
leave me for dead
it’s long past time we admit
these are the bullshit years
the days are getting vague
we are easy to forget
roll these empty thoughts around our head
fold these losing cards against our vest
do it the hard way
pulling me sideways
hang my head down
burn the script
paint the town
it’s a sign of apocalypse
we crossed a line
there’s no coming back from this
come and kiss-me-sweet-and-twenty
our hearts are nearly empty
we are easy to forget
like ambrosia

Give it up, get out of the way
generation
Giving up and running away
and falling on our sword
Fake it loud, make it up
Calling me out and you’re making me blush
never give out, never get out the way
I don’t mind that you wear it best
I’m shaking my head and I'm shaking my fist
you wanted me then you wanted more
all the misery we can afford
Cheap love, give it away
plastic soul and away we go
Good luck for goodness sakes
whoa whoa whoa you’re making my heart sing
a note from another world
fever dreams and talking spells
never give out, never get out the way
I don’t mind that you wear it best
first I’m shaking my head and then shaking my fist
you wanted me but you wanted more
now you’re making me feel like a dinosaur
Comb our hair
stamp our feet
shedding our skin
and gnashing our teeth
you wanted me, you want it all
all the misery we can afford
like a dinosaur
