The Shins - Mine's Not A High Horse lyrics

After that confrontation You left me wringing my cold hands We shared some information We might not recover from And I watch your convictions Melt like ice cubes in an ocean You were so poorly cast as a malcontent You've got them all on your side That just makes more for doubt to slaughter "I never knew he thought that!" I heard you say falling out of the van "Don't ask for his opinion They ought to drown him in holy water" Will you remember my reply When your high horse dies? We'd like to go the distance But not a one of us is going to you See no one is wise enough to turn the ancient boat around These are the muddy waters I am swimming in To make a living were I to drown in them It should come as no surprise You've got them all on your side That just makes more for doubt to slaughter "I never knew he thought that!" I heard you say falling out of the van "Don't ask for his opinion They ought to drown him in holy water" Will you remember my reply one finger parallel to the sky?
