Violent Femmes - Fast Horses lyrics

There's something that I, I can't say Something that guys don't like to hear anyway It's not that I don't love you And it's not that I can't cry, 'cause I wanna cry I love you when I think That everything and everyone I love will die Fast Horses Racing around the track Although the course is slow Win, place, or show Everything in life must go There's something John Lennon never wrote tell me what you hear when you listen closely to the notes he never sang a beautiful song, not like Frank or what's his name, Elton John, some crazy Christian k**ed him, the poor bloke But he was running with some fast horses Racing around the track Although the course is slow Win, place, or show Everything in life must go Stand, stand, stand up for me 'cause I will stand, I will stand up up up up up for you There's something I think I lost and I might need to recover There's nothing that stand-up guys won't do for each other They tore down the bar, and I totaled the car you can have a drink to futility you're not as bad as you think and you are beautiful to me And you can be like fast horses racing, ripping, running down the track of course, the course is slow win, place, or show even the loser should know That he was a fast, fast horse and he was racing, wrecking, and raggin' round the track of course, the course is slow win, place, or show everything in life must go everything in life must go everything in life must go everything in life must go everything in life must go Fast horses Fast horses Fast horses Fast horses Fast horses
