Elizabeth & The Catapult - The Horse and the Missing Cart lyrics

You don't want to live by too many morals Despite what your elders whispered in the cradle Don't want to write the end before the start And you don't want to dwell on what is beyond you Despite what your better virtues may tell you Don't want to put the horse before the you know what, you know what Oh, oh, oh It's best not to live by too many morals Enjoy the first sip before you finish the bottle Don't want to lie in that bed before you made it And don't second-guess something once you believe it The world keeps on turning; you can take it or leave Don't want to put the course before the heart Cause you don't want to write that finishing line Before you recall that arc in your mind Careful to not be so careful before you step outside You don't want to paint that finishing touch Until you recall what you're dreaming of Don't want to preach yourself out, out of too much life, out of too much life Cause it's best not to dwell on some other man's fortunes Another man's cravings, another girl's portions Don't want to bet that sum before the parts And it's best not to fancy too many favors The more you are now, the less you are later Don't want to put the horse before the cart You don't want to whine before you're ducked under Best to jump now and think on it after It's best to be stupid and selfish while you're still young Cause you don't want to be so overly cautious So f**ing worried you're lost in the process Best to forget yourself now, right at the start Cause you don't want to write that finishing line Before you recall that arc in your mind Careful to not be so careful when you step outside You don't want to paint that finishing touch Before you recall what you're dreaming of Don't want to preach yourself out, out of too much life Life You don't want to preach yourself out Of life You don't want to preach yourself out
