Floater - Rocking Horse lyrics

Johnny rocks on his rocking horse Dreaming of the day of the big divorce. Hoping somehow that everything will get better Johnny turns up the music loud. Sings himself hoarse just to drown them out. She wants to leave, but they both know he won't let her. She's not gonna be brave. She's not gonna be to slow. To make her attack When he starts showing his back like a fool yah. Been made to take all that she could. Mother and child, oh make their escape. Yah, they left him lying there in a dark pool of his own hate. There was no time to contemplate. In a house by the door, there's a rifle with a rusted sight Taking aim, making sure, going to end it all tonight. He's the lamb with a loaded gun Quietly beggin' her to get it done She looks like a ghost but at least she's not weeping... She's not gonna be brave. But she's not gonna be to slow. To make her attack When he starts showing his back like a fool. Yah Oh Been made to take al that she could. Mother and child oh make their escape Oh yah They left him lying there in a dark pool of his own hate There was no time to contemplate Red Black Faces that come undone Beg, Plead And then drop like setting suns Compa**ion please Not until she's Been broken Been broken Oh now day after day learn to swallow down Bite after bite of all the pride you can She said, "keep your head when he comes Bleed and suffering, Find freedom" Compa**ion please not until she's Been broken. Whisper: It's ok It's ok It's ok Everything is okay Everything is okay
