Britta Persson - Time Is Your Horse lyrics

When you choose not to ride the escalator 'cause you don't want to stand behind teenagers Watch them go fishing deep, deep down A promise as bait attached to the tongue When you don't want to go see your parents 'cause you don't want your skin to turn transparent The moment you walk into the house From which you could not wait to get out Time is your horse When you don't want to eat New Year's dinner 'cause your friends' boyfriends think they are winners You don't want to spend another second Discussing when there is no discussion When you don't think being you is impossible But being someone else looks more professional You go that way to get it done The jokes you tell are so much fun Time is your horse Picture yourself on the shores of the future Trust in the time she's your horse to the future Presence is just a door to the future Seizing the day is for self-righteous losers Time is your horse
