Lyrics

Horses's Head

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

At the bottom of a barely beating heart

Is the tinder and the flint

Just waiting for the fire to start

And it's a common theme

To be on your knees

When all you want is to be standing up

And at the centre of the earth is the molten core

We retreat when we dig too deep

But it's the heat that keeps us coming back for more

Cause we're compelled to know

What awaits down the rabbit's hole

So wring your hands

Or beat your chests

But go

Up to the 25th floor where you'd never been before

And you like the view until you see the silver plattered bitter pill

But chances are chances

Swallow like the man says

And at the edge of the earth is the Mortal Coil

Unraveling a spool, a thread, a web we weave

Then ask for more

And if it's more you choose

But then lament, bemoan, accuse

The more you came to claim

You'll stand to lose

Up to the 25th floor where you'd never been before

And you like the view until you see the silver plattered bitter pill

But chances are chances

Swallow like the man says

And right from the very beginning

There's always been somebody singing

And somebody else who'll flash you fancy chances

And there'll always be

A hook to the chorus

So go write one for us

You ask for some help instead

They hand you the horse's head

Shine, shine, shine, shine your light on me

I don't mind

As long as you see me shine, shine, shine, shine

Shine, shine, shine, shine your light on me

I don't mind

As long as you see me shine, shine, shine

But right from the very beginning

There's always been somebody singing

And right till the end my friend

There'll always be somebody listening

So drink one for sorrow

And two for tomorrow

And right from the very beginning

There's always been somebody singing

And somebody else who'll flash you fancy chances

And there'll always be

A hook to the chorus

So go write one for us

You ask for some help instead

They hand you the horse's head

You ask for some help instead

They hand you the horse's head

You ask for some help instead

They hand you the horse's head
