Geography Of A Horse Dreamer

Old man put down your bottle go and tidy up your room

the t.v. is broken, there ain't no room, there ain't no food,

there ain't no air only cigarettes and it's

time to tell us something

And he turns with his eyes wide open and bleedin'

and cryin' tell us what did you see

in the neon in the halflight

did you dream us a number

did you dream us a winner

tell us what did you

dream?

Don't pretend like you don't love us really you're a

part of it all goin'

bad and money

you'll get a little

maybe you can take a walk outside,

breathe the air

see what it's like to be

alive.

And he turns and he wonders what city he is in

in a motel on some highway

with bruises on his skin

in the neon in the halflight did you dream us a number did you dream

us a winner tell us what did you dream

and he turns and he smiles and he makes them wonder

he says I'll give you a number he says I'll give you

a dream.

It ain't Jersey it ain't Lilly it ain't no bloody mare or queen

that keeps on comin' in to keep us in this hell that

we're in.

She lives on the third floor.

She has three children to feed.

I'll give you her number, you can call her and ask her

If she remembers me.
