War Horse

I'm a warhorse, baby
And you don't want to war with me
I'm a warhorse, baby
And you don't want to war with me
People look out because I'm superstitious
People look out, I'm stoned and sacrilegious
Having a gran mal seizure scare
There is a red-headed demon here
I'm a warhorse, baby
You know it ain't no game with me
People look out
My chemical imbalance
Has me drawing sleep from a silver chalice
People look out
What's in the bedroom mirror
Are malevolent spirits
Couldn't be no clearer
I'm a warhorse, baby
And you don't want to war with me
People look out
Because I'm superstitious
People look out
I'm stoned and sacrilegious
Having a grand mal seizure scare
There is a red-headed demon here
I'm a warhorse, baby
And you don't want to war with me
People look out
My chemical imbalance
Has me drawing sleep from a silver chalice
People look out
What's in the bedroom mirror
Are malevolent spirits
Couldn't be no clearer
I'm a warhorse, baby
And you don't want to war with me
