John Popper - Horses lyrics

Pray to your altered idol That it may spare you Brave, grabbing at the bridle Though the horses dare you Looking to rise, looking to fall Down and in and up and out And end over end forever Or easily at least until I see you again In endless battle with the light I see Some meant to heal, some meant to ease the pain And I alone control the recipe And my nature overrules my brain Only in flashes do I seal my fate Only gets foggy coming to the end Always attempting to repent too late Before the next thing begins Pray to your altered idol That it may spare you Brave, grabbing at the bridle Though the horses dare you Looking to fall before my master's feet Looking to find my own way Looking could teach me but it's incomplete I had to join in the fray And now I pivot and I wheel around Only to make a little distance And almost vainly try to hear a sound That could offer my resistance Looking to rise, looking to fall Down and in and up and out And end over end forever Or easily at least until I see you again And all my theories are now put to test Shattered before me like a childhood dream And I am in it now like all the rest Aboard the Disney ride supreme (With the stamp on his hand, he was well in command) And I shall stand upon her burning decks (And when both doors flung open, he said he's in the band) Through every tune that calls the question (That's why I climb every time to the end of the line) Begging me closer 'til my vessel wrecks (Into my cold soul, I sold bold with the rock and the roll) Upon the rock of her suggestion (Into the jam, sleight of hand, it was attached to the man) Pray to your altered idol (He had bills, so he k**ed 'til the contract was filled) That it may spare you (And when we saw what he'd draw, it was against the law) (With the stamp on his hand, he was well in command) (And when both doors flung open, he said he's in the band) Brave, grabbing at the bridle (That's why I climb every time to the end of the line) Though the horses dare you (Into my cold soul, I sold bold with the rock and the roll) (Into the jam, sleight of hand, it was attached to the man) Looking to rise, looking to fall (He had bills, so he k**ed 'til the contract was filled) (And when we saw what he'd draw, it was against the law) Down and in and up and out And end over end forever Or easily at least until I see you again
